I'm not sure how to properly interpret your comment? Are you saying microtransactions are still evil because they are profitable?

While I think $11k is a pitiful wage (but apparently somewhat normal in that city), it at least gives working artists a paycheck. Isn't that a good thing?

Rich westerners entertaining/decorating themselves on outsourced art from poorer countries... yes, it's vaguely colonial and kinda uncomfortable to think about, but is it really that different from buying woven goods or coffee or phones or whatever? At least in this case, the artists work in a relatively comfortable office and not in a field or sweatshop.

As a web dev in the US, I get paid much more than that, but at the end of the day I'm still just a minion for someone else's capitalist machine. Unfortunate, but still beats being a peasant...

Or did I misunderstand your point...?
