    Micros rake in the cash because they exploit the stupidity of “whales” (people with more money than sense).

      My point is that however you feel about microtransactions they are successful and that’s why they’re so common.

      With subscription services you and me can think “I want to own it and play whenever” but a lot (not only casual) players see it as “I pay a few $ and get access to a huge library of games I can try out for the next month”.

      As I wrote initially, just because more dedicated audience doesn’t like the direction industry is moving in doesn’t mean majority will care enough to stop it.
