Exploitation in general isn’t illegal, only certain forms are.
A casino that offers free alcohol and has enticing games isn’t illegally exploiting its customers, even if those customers get addicted to the games and their inhibitions are reduced due to the effects of alcohol. However, there are limitations, such as not allowing obviously drunk people to gamble since they’re sufficiently impaired so as to not be able to legally consent.
I don’t think MTX rise to that standard.
Charging money per-goal in soccer is fraud
I don’t understand what you’re trying to say here. Are you saying viewers are charged per goal scored while they’re watching? Is that actually a thing that happens, or even remotely similar? And how is that fraud? Fraud is when you misrepresent something:
intentional perversion of truth in order to induce another to part with something of value or to surrender a legal right
Maybe if the ticket to the game said $50, but in the fine print you need to pay $100/goal and that’s not disclosed anywhere prior to purchase.
Or are you saying that P2W is fraud generally? That really depends on how the free or lower cost tier is advertised.
This business model is intolerable.
I agree, which is why I don’t engage with it. But something being intolerant or untasteful doesn’t mean it should be illegal.
I find gambling to also be intolerable, so I don’t gamble. However, I’ll be first in line to support making it legal because it’s tyrannical to prevent people from consensual gambling.
