Read it

TL;DR
No point reading further if you don't feel like reading the article above.

This is also applicable to MMO games, either freemium or subscriber based.
What struck me especially was that colors bit.
We can't change colors on our frigging mechs without paying for it.
Not a single color. Nothing.

Atleast they could have a basic color palette and make us pay for the "complex ones" - atleast then we'd have the illusion it's worth it. But i'm NEVER EVER paying for basic colors.
Seriously, how stupid do game companies think gamers are? (Don't answer that, heh)

And seeing I have to pay for it in the game, makes me think three times before using ANY extra money now, because i wonder how much are they really trying to screw me over.
Is there any real value for me in item X?

A good, unsurprising yet still depressing read. The whole thing is something I've been contemplating for years, since all that crap first started. It really makes you wonder if the biggest part of humanity consists of utter m0rons (btw., the answer to that question is yes). Otherwise, this would not work.

You can buy colors. With Cbills. That cost no money. You're welcome.

Huh, you're right, i can buy some colors with cbills, under basic colors.
Five of em, they're drab. But thanks for the heads up!
The 50+ other colors are MC based for 500MC-1000MC per unlock.
