Comment on Old gamers don't understand what mobile gaming has become
rikudou@lemmings.world 1 day agoAh, the classic “world hunger is a myth, I have eaten today.”
I’m not saying there are not the rare gems in mobile games (just bought Don’t Starve on Android last month!), but like 99% of games for mobile are just s money making scheme using dark patterns to influence your brain to give them money.
And congrats on not spending on micro transactions! You do realize the world doesn’t revolve around how your perceive things, right? If young people are exposed to micro transactions like that, it alters their brains and not in a good way. And that’s science, there really isn’t much you can argue with.

You do realize that iOS alone has more paid premium games—without microtransactions—than the entire combined library of NES, SNES, N64, and GameCube, right?

Cool, that’s why half the games you listed are just gambling machines in disguise?

You sure are obsessed with people having fun in only your proscribed manner.

Nah, I’m obsessed with corporations not ruining kids lives just to get few more dollars.
Also, please, stop putting words into other people’s mouths.
