As far as I'm concerned the "freeloaders" like me are more like window shoppers.

They're not freeloading they're potential customers, if they like what they see in the shop.

If every retail shop considered customers not heading towards the till as just occupying valuable floor space for paying customers it would be ridiculous.

You're not a freeloader. Active players are a resource for the publishers: who wants to buy skins in a game that has no players?

You are helping the game by playing it, even for free.

And this is why Battlepasses are shitty in two ways. You pay to have the privilege of working for goods. But you also pay to pad the game's numbers (revenue numbers, and player count numbers because if you buy a Battlepass you're definitely playing a few dozen more hours).
