It doesn't have to apply to every single person to be fundamental. Some people are not pressured by FOMO. Some people are not tricked by dark patterns. Yet these things play on fundamental psychological phenomena of the human mind.

Whether or not a game is played against another is not relevant as to whether or not it is pay-2-win. At all. Not even a little bit, as a treat.
