They remind me more of the Korean TV series Cashero. There, the main hero has strength superpowers, but the power comes by crunching through cash in his pocket. But I use the per-token APIs for my usage, not a subscription, so I'm guessing I'm in the minority.

So you’re saying I can go with a melee/stamina build and just whirlwind smash my boss in the face? To me, it feels more like buying gems in a freemium mobile game :(
