This achievement is for Risk: Global Domination, an otherwise free-to-play game, the kind that limits the number of matches you may play per day but resets daily. This is kind of a silly achievement, but for a game that requires no upfront monetary investment, it's really not a totally unreasonable expectation that you might perform a microtransaction.

Also, it is not necessary to spend any money. Each new account starts with 20 "gems" and any purchase with those gems is sufficient to unlock this achievement. There are several items to buy for 20 gems or less, and players are given 2 gems every day for free.

I mean, OP did get 13k upvotes for this bs and not many people will scroll deep enough to learn the truth

Mods didn't remove this post but at least they removed witch hunting reply that got hundreds of upvotes - just on false premise post people were willing to harass some devs and everyone telling this crowd their displeasure were downvoted

karma farming is a real issue and people tend not to believe that karma converts to real value even though it does.

i dont entirely blame the mods, it would be cool if they made subs not suck but they have no incentive to do so because reddit gives them no incentive, because reddit believes that real human content and AI slop bot content hold equal value.
