You deserve everything what's coming your way.
Those who make and maintain video games want and need rewards otherwise they'd just stop maintaining and making them. How far their greed goes is another topic.
Also, notice how most of the completely free to play games with no microtransactions are usually shit and get boring fast because nobody wants to bother that much for creating something that won't give them profit for making it.

Notice how a large chunk of them use Ad revenue for reward benefits rather than micro-transactions.

I don't play mobile games but I am a supporter of micro transactions.
I feel like I can actually pay for what I want from the game.
If the game offers transactions that I don't like then I just don't play it.
Currently I play Path of Exile and Gw2 on and off, both with full ingame shops.
POE does a much better job of this though, all transactions being just cosmetic with absolutely no advantage.

I don't think that's a very profitable way for them to make money. It might be good enough for reletively simple games but for the bigger ones they need more money then what comes from Ad revenue.

Because I always wanted to pay $10 for a 1 hour sword/gun model that was slapped on template animation set. Good goy, buy dem hats. That's almost the same principle as 7 days to die $500,000 "upgrade" aspect, where if they get another $100,000 they'll add one new feature or some bullshit like that.

This is how Maplestory used to be in its first 2-3 years before Nexon became a huge whore for cash, and boy, I spent ALL my petty grade-school money there.
