I will say though, to be fair, that the game itself was buggy and they did seem to use the players as guniea pigs/testing, rather than test it properly. I mean how does a typo like 335M vs. 33.5M make into production? It doesn't unless you don't test stuff outside of the live product. Shame on them for that.

Clearly they tweaked the game as needed to give the pay players the advantage they paid for when they realized the original plan was not good enough from that perspective. I did  not like that I got 3 SW in the campaign with nets before the first update and then 0 after, but it totally makes sense. You pay, you win. If you don't like that, don't play.
