If you want that, go and do the work yourself.

How much of that is micro transaction? Don't know. How much is loot boxes. Don't know. Blizzard reported more than half their revenue, $4 billion, was from micro-transactions. https://www.gamespot.com/articles/activision-blizzard-made-4-billion-on-microtransac/1100-6456669/ https://www.gamespot.com/articles/activision-blizzard-made-4...
