Thats true in a surface level way. Buts its equally true about cigarettes, heroin any other adictive substance you can think of.
In-app purchases and limited time game passes are hardly heroin
No but your argument that no-one is forced to buy cigarettes is equally valid to arguing that for micro-transactions. One is chemically adictive, the other uses physchological tricks and is almost entirely unregulated.
