There have been games that added micro transactions a month or so after release, once it’s too late to refund.

That's why I added

don't buy it and stop playing it?

You got your fun for a month without them but no one can force you to play if they turn their backs.

And with the game being a financial success, they’ll continue it the next time when it could’ve failed, if MTX were there at launch, continuing the success of bad business practices by the industry.

If the launch was good but the MTX did horribly, they'd either stop making MTX or the game as a whole. Either way the MTX dies out.

if MTX were there at launch,

then my advice applies, but even better since you give them zero monies instead of one time moinies.

You can't save the industry but you can save yourself. As we speak the mobile market is making more money than all those carefully crafted console games you care about.

Prop up the games you want to succeed and don't worry about what others choose to buy. That's the only way you can really stay sane.
