It absolutely is a massive flaw that fundamentally changes their ability to enjoy the game.

They changed the amount of cash they demand after the fact to take advantage of people addicted. Not giving it a negative review for such open abuse would be the unethical behavior. You have an obligation to do so. The ethics of monetization is what defines free to play games.
