The problem is that for every one of us uh… “Serious” gamers there are 3 who aren’t like us. Top of my head:
I’m sure there’s more, and I’m sure my list is not accurate, but we are a very tiny slice unfortunately. Still doesn’t mean I’m giving them a dime. I proudly wear the basic free armor in Halo Infinite hoping that someday they’ll see me running around and know that I’m playing a free game, years later, never paying them.
The thing is that by and large, only #2 out of your list is included in the big profits of these companies.
The other thing is somewhere between 1 and 3, namely grown-ups with cash from work but who find it absolutely normal to pay a certain amount per week for their favorite game. Because they’ve never known different.
And then of course, there’s the really fucked up group: problem spenders. Who are explicitly targetted and exploited by these shit companies.
