Plenty of people have fun playing trading card games by just making the best of the cards they get and, of course, trading. Most people I know who play or played them (including myself) were like that. Of course, you can get obsessed with getting the best cards and end up wasting unhealthy amounts of money, but it's not the most common behavior. While I see the point that those games can be seen as having a gambling component, I don't think it's fair to group them together with pure gambling where there is no or almost no motivation to the game other than the possibility of winning a prize, like slot machines, roulette, or the game in this article.
