That's super reductive. There's a pretty obvious difference between playing a game that only requires a modest one time fee for the whole thing, versus a game that somehow gets people to drop hundreds, even thousands of dollars for repeated purchases of virtual spaceships.

However, I know I also make purchases that others don't understand. I don't think there are any clear lines to be drawn; the gaming industry is generally exploitative. I wish it were easy to find solid games without all the cruft.
