"games" is a broad category. Chess or Doom or Undertale never nickle-and-dimed anyone for $500.

I can't help but think you're purposefully trying to obscure that point.

No, I think that's exactly the point.

I have spent some money on doom, counterstrike, quake, unreal or even chess. Or none on games like tremulous. I've spent a lot of time in these games, I've found friends in this games that I by now know for more than a decade.

A lot of that is gone with modern match making, and modern match making is made worse with transactions. Because you need to funnel more people into the matchmaking grinder.
