It's OK for people to spend as much money as they want supporting [gambling]. If you enjoy the work that a developer does for a [gambling service], it makes sense to fund their business.

Would you feel the same about your paragraph with these changes? Destiny 2 used to have full blown loot boxes after all.

I think it is important to still ralley against predatory mtx mechanics even if they don't work for you. Other people don't necessarily have full control over their own spending habits and by allowing these systems we openly allow developers to exploit these people. Luckily we started having laws against gambling mechanics (although Gacha is still a thing), but there are still many other psychological tricks at play for almost all of these shops.
