    I haven’t been playing in years and this is shocking to me. Like, people pay almost six times as much for mobile games than for PC games? The mobile games I used to play were all simple and free (yes, I do think about Snake, among others).

      Probably includes all the lootbox/dlc addictive crap they put in mobile games. Some people spend thousands on this trash.

          Because you can’t make money. The moment you buy the in-game currency you spent money with not way of getting it back. The gacha has no remuneration, it’s just to have a better experience in the game.

          And to be fair all mobile games that use this hunt for so-called whales. Those do 90% of the spending.
