They complain about it all the time, but gamers deserve the microtransaction and slop hell the AAA industry has created, as those same gamers pump billions into these soulless corporate behemoths and keep the system rolling.

    It's hard to generalize, but often it's really just a few whales propping the whole thing up.

    While they may make up 2% of the users, they can account for 50% to an astounding 70% of game developers’ profits

    The linked article is referencing Candy Crush, not AAA games, but it's hard to find published data on the matter. Different games and communities will be different, but I would hesitate to broadly blame consumers for this.
