No it's not, the community is just paying for it collectively! The players deserve a game that's better because they're still paying for it as a group instead of as individuals! Stop individualising yourselves so much that you can't even critique a product anymore!
It doesn’t help that those sort of games tend to be online competitive ones which breeds antagonism between the frugal players and the whales.
Not always, think of all the gacha games or the pve games that are funded entirely by cosmetics. Those big competitive ones are just the loudest.
