Why was Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League controversial?

Developer Rocksteady is known for its amazing single-player, open-world, and story-driven Batman Arkham games, but Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League broke the trend by being a live-service looter game. This shift in direction was off-putting for many players as it was deemed soulless and generic.

It has only been five months since the game's launch, so to see it available for free to a subset of players is fairly surprising. Despite the backlash, Rocksteady has been hard at work pumping out new content for the game. This includes new characters, levels, loot, as well as the entirety of Season 2 that has officially gone live as of late.
