Eh, the gaming industry and the amount of games you can play is so vast these days you can still play games without having to invest further amounts to progress. Yes there are loot box games and so on, but in reality they're a small subset. Admittedly if you primarily play mobile games then that subset is quite large. Stick with console/PC, be suspicious of free to play and you'll be fine.
