Games are expensive to make and run. AAA boxed games really haven't changed prices, even to match inflation/royalties. Which is also largely dictated by console manufacturers. Just selling a big AAA game for $60 is no longer enough. What's the solve?

Manipulation of consumers with more money than sense is an unsustainable plan. Reminds me of the 90's comic book market which leaned hard on "collectors" until they stopped buying.
I don't think you can generalize microtransaction purchasers as mindless or unable to control how and when they spend their money. If you estimate 40 hours to unlock something, you get paid $25/hr, then paying $1/hr to get it now very well could be a reasonable use of your money.

I've been in that position myself, but the time investment is set by the developer as part of the manipulation. If OW gave a loot crate after every match the incentive to buy would dramatically decrease.
