    They hire psychologists to explicitly figure out how to better make sales. Logical thinking will not win. Microtransactions, which consists of crap you don’t need, is a billion dollar industry and has bankrupted numerous homes.

        Thats true in a surface level way. Buts its equally true about cigarettes, heroin any other adictive substance you can think of.
