Yeah, this microtransaction model has really ruined the gaming industry for us. I mean, it's too profitable for them, and even after paying all that money, you still don't own anything. Not even a copy of the game. 

 Yep. People now spend thousands on one game. Even though the number of paid users is much lower than free, the paid ones more than make up for the free users (and of course have the best gear, stats, content)
