Been playing mobile games (I really like Guidus and Iron Marines). Cool base games but the state of mobile games...
First they draw you in
The first week? it's usually smooth, easy gameplay, plenty of bonuses, plenty of currency. You breeze through the game and get your dopamine fixes and establish the game as a reliable, easy source of dopamine. Lots of rewards, flashy sounds, fun...
Then they hold out on you
Currencies run out. Easy levels are just JUST barely manageable. It's more luck than skill. Boy you sure wish you had bought that 1 revive or 1 small bonus push from microtransactions to make it through. You want to play more? Ooops, you're out of energy, gotta wait a bit. Wanna buy more?
Then they go cold turkey
This is when you hit a hard paywall. What you have is no longer enough to get you past the level. Those small free bonuses that you get don't even cut it. If you want to play more, you HAVE to pay. That's the thing; paying doesn't make the game fair, it makes it like a breeze till the bonuses run out. Then you're back to... This.
