Plenty of Gacha Games are more predatory than CS:GO. Valve is happy to host them all. CS:GO is a big money maker precisely because it has a large and enduring user base that isn’t fixated on Pay2Win game mechanics. Compare that to SummonerWars or Diablo Immortal or even just Candy Crush. There’s no contest.

I’m specifically talking about CS:GO, which is the most predatory and developed by Valve to be so.

It’s not just the tactics that make it the most predatory. It’s the massive platform and promotion that it gets by being a valve product.
