In addition to that jimquisition that another user commented, remember that its easy to say "it doesnt affect me if i dont buy it" but people do buy it. Some people spend silly money on cosmetics and if people keep dojng that then it encourages game companies to spend less time on making the games good and more time on pumping out cosmetics.

The proof is in tbe pudding. Games are mostly shit now.

These are massive companies whos sole aim is to make money, not entertaining games. They dont care, they will just follow the money.
