I don't understand why there is an issue with markets entering the domain of "leisure", and I certainly do not think that this is something new. Is a hobby shop immoral?
Micro-transactions in freemium video games have proven to be a great way to make money for games that are deemed worthy by their users. No one is being forced to buy the new skin in Fortnite.
You can't stop market forces. If you choose not to partake, good on you. But applying your own personal moral concept of what leisure should be onto the entire country is worse than Fortnite making me pay $10 for the new skin.
