For which you can get the premium currency by simply playing the game. I got enough for 4 of them, though I didn’t get one. You can farm it in level 2 missions, getting 40 - 70 each mission if you are short. You can do that with a squad of 4 friends to have the mission time be sub 10 minutes. It isn’t necessary to 1. get every warbond 2. pay real money for the currency. The grind isn’t massive and is skippable by simply playing the game normally.
It’s not “pay to win” exactly, but it’s only a matter of time until an important “meta” weapon is locked behind a warbond.

Yeah that’s typically how microtransaction driven games work.

(Also all of those are free to play, so minus points to helldivers for double dipping)
We are not talking about “microtransactions in a game”. We are talking about pay to win. There is a huge difference, and Helldivers isn’t pay to win.
