    $10 / month doesn’t even rate on the whale scale. It’s people with addictive personalities who get FOMO or lose a match and think “If I just bought 10 more loot boxes…”, and can’t stop themselves. They’re the people these games are built to take advantage of. Some folks spend hundreds / month or more on these games.

      Warthunder has loot boxes and airplanes that cost hundreds of dollars on their market, and people pay for them. I sold some random tank once for like $35 and it wasn’t even anything special.
