I believe there is a deep disease of extreme and growing wealth inequality, whose symptoms are erupting in every area of our way of life. This is a good example. In a more wealth equal society you're financial motivated to build good products for all users. Now the entire system is geared to the whims of the rich

the entire system is geared towards getting money from poor people

it's easier to afford ~£5 in 99p microtransactions every month for a year than it is to afford a £60 triple A

of course this isn't where the bulk of money comes from for these games (whales), but it's still a big factor
