Improving the profit model
I don't begrudge the devs wanting to make money; I do have a few issues with how aggressive they are with it.
That wait screen during matchmaking seems like a better place for in-game purchase ads than spamming you with them after a match or during the initial load. We're waiting around for 15-30 seconds regardless... showing us the ads then would be less intrusive yet get more attention. They'd just have to have a delayed action of "open after match" instead of "open now".
And cosmetics are an easy win - people want them but they don't create a 'P2W' scenario. Why not sell badges that mount on your mech and show your division rank or your clan name?
