It's honestly sad. The whales are just a different form of gambling addicts, the wasted money isn't even a factor for some people.
I had a roommate who was absolutely a whale, and he would buy expensive skins in multiplayer games because they were expensive and he literally wanted to feel better than others who he thought couldn’t afford the skin. When in almost all situations it’s that they just weren’t idiots like him

How is this similar to gambling? I really do not see any parallels.
I guess they meant the addict part rather than the gambling part, unless this is some kind of loot-box situation
