This. Free2Play junk like gachapon/lootboxes and P2W micro-transactions make games into "highly profitable, contentless voids". Japanese developers even know this is a thing because they shutdown 100's of mobile games every year that have that mechanic, once they empty the wallets of the whales. They then come out with a nearly identical game to make them start paying again.
