Without reading beyond the headline, I have to say that predation in gaming isn't worse than I think, because it literally can't be. But I know I am not who the article is for...
The article is just an opinion based on speculation and failed to provide any real-world examples outside of a photo of some loaded dice guaranteed to roll a 7 or 11 every time. There was also a flow chart scientifically showing that if a player is good at a game, data analytics could be used to increase the difficult, resulting in microtransactions at a higher price. I have no doubt there is some truth to it, but if MTX were dynamically price based on the skill of a player as alleged, I am pretty sure there would be a ton of real-world examples at this point. Really it was just a manipulative headline to generate revenue by selling advertisement, and I was the mark.
