If it’s free, you’re the product.

That doesn’t make sense here, does it? The product is the digital skins or whatever

Makes perfect sense. Those free games are generally funded by advertisements. You are the product being provided to the people paying for the ad time.

I just realized you must be talking about mobile games or something. lol
I was thinking of the finals or even warzone. Completely free games where you can just pay for a skin for your gun. Seems pretty great to me. I never pay for another COD game while then some poor addicted souls pay for everything they can. I mean, it works out pretty well for everyone… except those people, since they end up paying way more than what a game used to cost
