Certainly not a terrible question! I think lots of people have this one little feature that's put behind the pay wall, and want
that feature to be given away for free. With no problem if they devs monetize in a way that they won't care about.
For example, I'd mostly like the unlimited scheduling orders, so if they could just give that away for free. And I think playing more than 1 game is too taxing, so I don't mind having the multiple games feature behind the paywall.
The devs can't cater to everyone, there would be no paid features left.
I think this actually means the devs did a great job, create a game that's fully playable for free, and have people really want the convenience features that come with paid L2 clearance.
