I make it a point to never do in-game microtransactions, especially if it's more "gambling" style (luck-based, lootboxes etc.) I'm really prone to just tossing money to see what happens if I'm not careful. And so I do not allow myself to! I don't think I've purchased anything of that sort since Overwatch was in its heyday in 2016ish, lol. But it sucks because a lot of games do this style now, it's predatory but it works. If it's a one-time purchase such as a cosmetic for something that I play a lot (and if it's an indie game and it goes to supporting the devs) I could be more tempted, but for the most part I have a no microtransactions rule.
That being said, in the many years I've played FR I have thrown $20 at them during Black Friday sales maybe twice or three times. I figure I've gotten years of enjoyment out of this site, so it's the least I can do to show them some support. I haven't done this recently though as I now make the bulk of my gems during NotN.
