Gotcha Game

A video game that bombards you with microtransactions, usually "free to play".

The word is derived from how the games usually "get you" by luring you in with quick and rewarding mechanics at first, only to take those mechanics away and charge for them later on.

Friend #2: Sorry man, I don't play gotcha games.
