    Something being profitable does not in itself make it justified. Selling heroin is profitable, packing malware into your game can be profitable, sacking employees who get pregnant or fall ill improves profits. None of it is justified though.
    The capitalist system, at its core, is morally questionable. It's about using the worst aspects of human nature to drive progress, it works, but only when Governments and customers work to keep it in check.

    Oh, and while I think a cash shop in a subscription MMO is pretty damn shady, I obviously don't think it's of anywhere near comparable severity to selling heroin. Before anyone jumps on that...
