Yes, exactly this. I don't have any issue with paying for worthwhile games, but I do have an issue with games that try to continually extract more money from me -- you could spend hundreds of dollars on some of those "free-to-play" type games, and sorry, but the value just isn't there. You often can't even see this until you're into the game already (which I'm quite sure is by design), or read through some of the negative reviews. A 5-year-old who just wants to play that game with the characters they know doesn't understand this, and honestly, it's just easier to avoid entirely.
