Free-to-play schemes could be unlawful, warns OFT

The "buy nows" are the ability to actually play the content the game adds. "Want to be able to fight Empress? Just buy 100k in Cubes and hope for good stats which you probably won't get!"

Unfortunately,

Not something everyone knows, not something implicit in the way new bosses are, but only the literal "Buy NX now!" at the bottom of every web notice. So they'd have to rephrase that, big deal.
I completely agree with Chilly, this is a very weak attack on those companies. To really change something they'd have to go after the gambling aspect.
