okay but there are also a lot of people who are considered minnows who might play a game and spend $2-$10 but not spend anything beyond that

And companies don't really care about them that much, the whole business model is built around the whales.

I guess for a free to play game it's ok, but lots of paid games have added this shit too. I just avoid games w/ microtransactions entirely. Even the free ones. If you made a good game, I'll pay some money to play it, no problem. Shouldn't need to "sucker" someone in w/ a free price tag and nickel and dime them later.
But too many people see a one time $40-$60 up front purchase as too much, but $10+ a month for a year to be a great deal....
