Yeah this is very upsetting. I played for a while before realizing the entire update is just worthless. Every added item is worthless. Not only is the added content bad, but the base game is ruined, and there's no good way to revert it. I held up hope until I actually played it and saw it myself. You can't finish a run without getting one-shot by some unbalanced nonsense. That was actually my favorite game.
I mean it's bad enough that sleazy companies are greedy, why do they have to be so incompetent on top of it all?
