There is no such thing as a free game made by a studio. Full of micro transactions.

There was a game made to actually show you how the manipulation tactics work. By someone who used to work for a studio that employed these tactics.
This video is a humorous review of the game that I recommend for those looking to be informed more on how it all works.
