Yeah people meme about it but the addiction exists.
Even before microtransactions were huge on mmos, I remember people letting Runescape ruin them. Knew a guy with 3 daughters who was divorced over it. Had an old friend who wouldn't last more than two weeks at any job cause he'd quit to play and the whole group we played with would get to hear his girlfriend screaming at him over it sometimes (he did get better though).
Now days we have gachas and games with loot boxes so it's even more predatory.
