> It's not like you can't get pc games packed with micro transactions, loot boxes, asset flips, etc.
The difference is that in the PC games you can mostly ignore these and you still have a game you play, where skill and work is challenged and rewarded.
The phone "games" that company develops (again, top in popularity) had no gameplay to speak of. You click a button, something spins, over a large number of spins you reliably lose ingame currency so you need to buy more. You get a lot of smoke and mirrors on top of this - an artistic theme, social media integrations, ranks, titles, events, etc, but again the big difference is that there is no gameplay.
