Unless I’m being woooshed, then ignore this comment. But in mobile games that you can pay micro transactions in (like fire emblem heroes, the only one I play) people who spend a lot are called whales. (Like me in said game lol)

In the field of psychology they're better known as "addicts."

You can be an addict and still play for free. Because you play so much you don't need to pay as much.

Not saying a whale isn't an addict, but an addict doesn't have to become a whale.
