My biggest problem with the whole thing is it was 40 hours no matter what you do to unlock it. If it was based on achievements I would have been fine with it.

I think there is an argument to be made for time. That's why the "Unlock" craze, vis a vis the Games as a Service model, has some big problems ahead.

1. Lock things by achievements and you automatically support min maxing a particular way
2. Lock things by Scores/Win Loss and you support the worsening vicious attitudes of most online gamers - ie, the ultra competitiveness of many games
3. Lock things by time and realistically you have to find a balance of time to unlocks - It can't take thousands of hours

I do think some companies make good faith efforts, but no one has found a good and fair solution.
