It's not a bit like gambling, it's exactly gambling and the predatory nature of it is what I hate about video games.

you can still enjoy the game without taking part in it as it is optional and does not change your odds of winning, that is still skill based. if somebody wants to pay for a fancy skin I don't really see an issue.

people bet on soccer too but that shouldn't stop you from getting excitement from it.
