   The problem with these endless purchases is the so called "whales"

   Over 98% of the players will never spend a dime but the other 2% are paying for the rest of the playerbase.. the addicted ones

   Being addicted to such games does not only eat up your literal life time but also has bottomless spending pits designed to get as much out of the player as possible

   This is becoming a real issue that seems to go rather unnoticed 😟

     Nowadays when I talk to people who play games they often have no issue with the "standard" endless in-game purchases (with real money) for items or whatever IF they can also get it for free in the game

     And I understand, for their gameplay it maybe doesn't matter but I am truly amazed by how normal it has become that every single game is filled with purchases left and right

     Some games feel like cryptocurrency, they only exist to make more and more money regardless of anything else

     C'moooooon!
