I have a number of friends who play candy crush and before that I had number of friends who play farmville. If you ask them they will say they having fun playing those games.
- bpicolo 11y agoAnd? Do you think it would be less fun for them if microtransactions were absent? Doubt it.
- chkuendig 11y agoI don't - apparently people prefer nagging screens in games subsidized by a minority of whales over games everybody has to pay to download. After all, this is how the app stores started. Nobody would have switched to Freemium if Gamers preferred the Paid Games.
- bpicolo 11y agoThey switch because freemium gets them more money. Nothing more than a business decision. It sure doesn't mean gamers inherently prefer micro tx.

I know several people who smoke. If you ask them, they will say that they enjoy cigars and cigarettes.
- cwyers 11y agoI mean, they probably do? Cigarettes and cigars contain nicotine, which is very pleasurable to consume. Now, yes, it also contains a ton of carcinogens and tar, but those don't actually make cigarettes not enjoyable, just not healthy.
- JoshTriplett 11y agoThat was the joke/analogy, yes.
