They have their taste in games, and lay it accurately with tons of ‘I know that X does Y, but not for me tho’. I expected some flame there, but no, just their personal opinion on what they like to see and lack.
Stepping into their shoes, I’d try old rpgs, quests, adventures accumulating in the backlog and already having their share of GOTY awards so you can hop from a masterpiece to a masterpiece.
They don’t go deep into why f2p and MTX are popular. It’s really just a sudden frustration that they aren’t as represented. Cheers to you journoperson, please take a sit between groups as rarely cared for as you do, or even worse

You’re not the target demographic.
Someone working minimum wage wants to get the most of their refurbished PS4. They might try spending $60 on an unforgettable 12-hour singleplayer adventure, but then they’d run it a second time for achievements and have nothing else to play the rest of the year, having an old hospital and car bill to pay off. Instead, they either play F2P to stretch their dollar, or buy a 100-hour Ubisoft game padded with content. When they do get a bonus from work, they feel invested in that F2P and buy the skin they always envied.
I’m of course not suggesting these games are masterpieces, but it’s not so hard to imagine the appeals they cater to.
