> In Escape from Tarkov, cheaters bought the game (50€), cheated to get in-game items, sold in-game items for money, got banned, and bought the game again. It's literally profitable to keep buying a 50€ game after getting banned.

You can blame in-game microtransactions and the idea that in-game inventory is worth money on that one.
