While I'm sure it's done for the sake of maximum engagement\profit, your statement is not quite true. In v bucks terms, a season pass is 950, but you can usually get back around 1500 by getting to level 100 during the season.
You can also get like 400 a season without a battle pass. So if you played for a few seasons, you could get the battle pass for free as well. Then sometimes there's extra events and bonus v bucks you can earn and stuff. They figured out a long time ago they can make more money for the long term by staying the most popular, and the most popular means keep giving some shit away so it doesn't get old for the people who don't spend much, if any money. If they go away, then the people who do spend $$$ will end up moving on as well.
You say their are literally 0 upsides, but then you name a couple of upsides. Lol.
Also, if you want to be a dick about it, there have been several scientific studies done showing that HIV and most other STI's are significantly less at risk of contraction if you've been circumcised.
Sensitivity arguments? Go check Google search trends and tell me if the searches for guys trying to last longer is larger than the searches for lasting too long.
I mean, there's groups for everything. If just 1% of men in the US were unhappy about having been circumcised, while the other 99% were happy or indifferent about it, that's still over a million people unhappy. It's still a super minority of people.
You're doing the same thing, but hey, we can both start throwing links at each other to back up our points, if you'd like.
But you know what, lets just say for the sake of argument neither dick has any medical or hygiene or STI risk differences (because there's loads of evidence showing uncircumcised people are at a greater risk of getting those)
I think it looks better, and most people in my country think it looks better. Personal preference? Sure. But personally, we got better looking dicks. The other medical benefits are just a bonus.
Except it has more upsides than downsides. In fact, except for extreme outliers there are no downsides. Not once in my life had I ever thought "I wish my parents would have not circumcised me as a baby". From a US perspective, I think it looks better, most women think it looks better, and it saved me from cost, pain, and awkward teen years of waiting until adulthood to make the decision.
OP, you said it yourself, really. You aren't unhappy to be circumcised. You know at least one guy in real life who hated not being circumcised. Do you know anyone in real life; not the internet where people with negative outlooks on an issue tend to be the most outspoken, and not from all the other countries with different cultures and norms, but that you actually know that was mad about being circumcised? I work in a field that's very... Not shy about bringing up things like this. I've never met a guy who wished he wasn't circumcised.
Nanook can go ahead and call it mutilation, trying to lump it in with a dangerous and sexual pleasure ruining practice done to women in a handful of places, but I'll hard disagree. Mutilation is "a severe and disfiguring injury." I don't see circumcised as any of that, and neither do most people where OP or myself are from.
Balatro? Merge Maestro? Shattered Pixel Dungeon? The port of Star dew Valley? Into the Breach? Pocket City 2? Crashlands 2?
Maybe try a little harder to look. There's a lot of great games out there if you try to skip out of games loaded with micro transactions. Merge Maestro is just $2
