Luxury stores don't engage in predatory dark patterns, like luring you in with "f2p" and so on.

I would say the problem isn't that it's a "waste", it's that the way it is sold is practically fraud. If the game was presented authentically as "pay $100 to click a button 100 times and watch some animations" then I don't really think it would be very addicting.
