You know why microtransactions are there? Because people use them. If people did not use them then they would not be there. That's how business works. Demand propagates supply.
In that respect, the only ones to blame here, if you want to cast blame, are the consumers who indulge in microtransactions. However, those people have as many rights as consumers as anyone else.
I don't see the problem as long as a game does not DEPEND on microtransactions to function correctly. If the game is the same experience for me as if it did not have them to begin with then I'm satisfied. Even better if a lazy rich kid is subsidizing gaming for me by putting more money into developer's pockets.
I think I must be one of the few people who want studios and publishers to make money, so they can keep producing games, so I can keep playing.
