    If you don’t support that model of monetization, do so with your wallet.

      I have not ever bought a single game that used those monetization strategies as a part of its core business model, and I never plan to. The problem is that people like me (and presumably you) aren’t the ones they’re making the bulk of their money off of. It’s the vulnerable people with addictive tendencies, the “whales” as they call them in the industry, that they’re getting the vast majority of their profits from. It’s predatory.

      When they’re targeting people who are struggling with addiction, “voting with your wallet” doesn’t work anymore.
