Piracy FTW.

Again. 🤷🏼‍♂️

curious about their opinions on games like apex legends that is absolutely a free to play game, but has a way to pay for characters instead of using the in game method.

Where was this article when candy crush became big? This article is literally 10+ years way too late. Mobile games to me are basically just one giant scam that forces you to pay or have a horrible time in comparison.

Nothing inside a video game should cost real money.

Ban the entire business model.

If we allow this to continue, there will be nothing else.

This is primarily why I don't bother discussing game balance in live service games. They will never balance the game to have a level field between the items and characters. They will always balance the game to keep you playing and spending money on mtx.

Most players thinking of quitting a game, generally are losing often. The game will notice this, and then give you a win. It's always been noticeable, but some games, like The Finals, are super egregious with it because it shows everyone's MMR right off the bat and you will be able to tell if you will win or lose a match right as it starts when you see that your team is 5 times higher ranked than the other 2 teams, or vice versa.
