So I have moved on to another game that is less money intensive and less time-intensive (can be seen as a good or a bad thing).
What strikes me most is how compelling this material is to command my attention. It's like being under a spell.
They are great at taking money, but even for f2p they are just psychologically optimized to command our attention (which is a bigger concern in depth and breadth of impact).
Can't wait for the future strategies of addiction we can see in the next gen games :D
I’ve played two gatcha games in succession and this describes the thing very well. I wasn’t missing a single of play, spend a little money on them, read news and game info everyday. I’m glad I stopped. Some PC games can attract my attention for hours or days on, but they are not a daily burden, and also more satisfying to play.
