This really surprises me. I’d expect this from mobile games. I play exclusively on PC, and I’ve never even been offered to participate in a micro transaction. Maybe I’m just playing the wrong (right?) games?

Because you’re playing the right games. When you come across these type of games its so jarring. You open the game and the first thing you see is an ad then a link to the store.
