I have 0 sympathy for people caught in the casino aspects. The games are free, the game casino is for cosmetics, and you can play thousands of hours without paying a dime.

That's an awful take. Most of the whales and people caught in the casinos who suffer the highest financial loses are neurodivergent or people with mental illnesses, kids with their parents credit card, the elderly and overall the most vulnerable to manipulation. Those are the people that the gambling mechanics specifically aim for.
