I admit I read this in a tired state, but your right about the oppressive payment processing. They were never supposed to control how you spend your money. That was for each country's law to decide, which is supposed to be decided by the people.
As for your comment about the three designs, yeah they look weird. I'm still an original design of Corrupted Kingdoms fan, they already earned their reputation. These new three designs don't really look like the characters. Might as well call it Distorted Kingdoms at this point. Especially with the Corrupted part being cut out with the powers.
