Bandai isn't a bad company until you see what they spend the excess money on. If it's giving their developers a decent living wage (which quite frankly isn't very common in the game industry) then they are actually a better company than most. They could also be saving that money for something else, such as making new games (which can't generate money until they're completed) or trying to buy licensing rights to give complaining global players the DBH characters.

A company wanting to make money isn't "bad" unless they higher ups pocket all of it and don't use it for the betterment of the game or its employees as a whole. Unless someone has a link about corruption at Bandai (preferrably from an ex-employee), it's nothing but your frustration taking the form of suspicion.

At the end of the day, consumers pay for what consumers want. No one has ever forced you to buy stones (or even play Dokkan at all) anymore than you were forced into buying a burger after seeing a fast food advertisement. It is not unethical to frame your product as attractive, especially considering the purely recreational nature of playing a game.
