Why casual players don't 'just leave'

[Eyrilona]

I would personally say that ESO fits in there as well.

My qualm with ESO is that it is kind of dishonest. It acts like you can play for free, when in reality a paid sub is pretty much a necessity if you want to be able to enjoy the game, those QoL perks that come with the paid sub don't feel like optional luxuries, they're bare essentials in a game with so few inventory slots by default.
