- robswc 4y agoI will _never_ understand sinking money into a mobile game like that. Blows my mind. Couldn't even be worth the effort.
- HWR_14 4y agoThere are two types of whales. Those who plow an objectively large but relatively (to them) small sum into the game are fine. Those who fell victim to psychological programming to feed every dollar in are not.
- conviencefee999 4y agoYeah, sure. Let's go with this. Wanna buy a 250 dollar cash card for Arbys?
- robswc 4y agoEven if it cost a few dollars to me (to equal their $10,000 for example) I just wouldn't do it. Just feels like I'm being taken for a ride... which doesn't feel good haha. Same way with games I enjoy. I never tend to buy the "skins" or "cosmetics" unless one _really_ clicks with me.
- Firmwarrior 4y agoThe trick is that you have a big chunk of your social graph in the game You aren't spending $25 on video game shit, you're spending $25 on a fun skin to show your pals, or upgrades to help your friends beat some boss, or whatever Once you get on that path, it can lead pretty normal people to some very dark places indeed
- HWR_14 4y agoAt least those people are getting something out of game. Completionists/collectors having their OCD taken advantage of are going to an even darker place.
- robswc 4y agoAh... I think you've given me the missing puzzle. I will say I don't get sucked into those "one up" wars (I really hate spending money on things I feel are gimmicks) _but_ this makes a lot more sense.
