Maybe free to play games that make money through micro transactions, without pay to win mechanism (like buying skins or hats!) are the way to sustainably produce games? Kinda like a SAAS subscription instead of a purchase software outright deal.

This is the current business model of Destiny 2: there's free to play, with expansions you can buy for a one-time cost to give you more content, or microtransactions for cosmetics.
