Any real time gate keeps me from playing the way I want to, by definition. I will not buy or play a game which has any version of a real time gate unless it’s a separate game mode I have no interest in.

Hitman elusive targets? Whatever. They don’t touch anything real. They’re “not part” of the actual game. But the second it interacts with the game I have zero interest. I don’t care if the key is free and there are no microtransactions. The core premise of controlling when, in real time, I’m allowed to interact with content is not OK.
