Well... kind of. The trick the big companies are running is that these garbage offerings are without alternative. All the good games are doing it. So the “fuckers who end up buying this shit” are people who don't want to make do with second-grade games and bite the bullet.

There were alternatives before this became a standard. F2P MMOs & Horse Armor DLC were what set the tone, and now you can pay AND get micro transactions at the same time. In the end it's still a vote with your wallet situation.
