IDbros here actually pay to buy skins in Chinese MOBA. Also, HoloID girls did have some gachis (yes, including that Zomily who passed away several days ago). Not enough, but they're there. Even many years ago, IDbros (especially teenagers and even underage) were willing to buy something in multiplayer online games. I'll go for "lack of funds" and even said "muh free" mentality will go back to "lack of funds" reason.
And, one way to counter that is to make something as cheap but can be bought by many people.
