So I think the nuance you're trying highlight is that there are things players can buy in games that they simply wouldn't have gotten if it weren't for in-game purchases (to use your example, if players couldn't pay to remove ads they simply would have the ads all the time)... but still I take issue with: > to say [...] nobody would choose [in-game purchases is] a definite falsehood. If the choice were between paying to remove ads and not having ads in the game in the first place, I posit that near enough nobody would choose the first option.
