I don’t mind paying for something if the game is good, as long as it is not pay to win. I bought some starter pack for Path of Exile. I have hundreds of hours in that game, so I bought some stash tabs and cosmetics.

Path of Exile is an okay example, but even the most basic tabs being pay only shifts it to pay2win. These days, if you want to do anything more than try the game through the campaign, you need at least a few paid tabs.
