If you don't pay for physical products or tangible/useful services, then that's what happens. But look at it the bright side. The kind of people who burn cash on games would have instead thrown them on drugs, cigarettes, online gambling, or something even worse had these avenues never existed.
- Retric 6y agoMany people where caught unawares by video game addiction. Cultures convey the dangers of drugs and gambling quite effectively allowing many susceptible people to avoid them, but IAP where a very new thing.
- Bakary 6y agoThe trump card of video game addiction is accessibility (in a sense online gambling and game addiction are functionally the same) It's not easy to relinquish access to a computer and phone these days
- BlueTemplar 6y agoThese kinds of games make it worse by using real-time timers (and real-life money). I tend to get quite addicted to video games, but gave up on even trying those with these kinds of mechanics, as the reward/(danger+cost) ratio is just too bad.
