> One of the peculiar and interesting aspects of this game is that it rewards you for not playing it. Often, the next cookie purchase requires several orders of magnitude more cookies than you are currently producing, so you have no option but to leave the game alone, sometimes for days, before your cookie factories churn out enough cookies for you to unlock the next level of progress.
A mechanic all too often ruined by desperate monetization.
- vikingerik 3y agoThe paragraph you quoted isn't really true for Cookie Clicker nowadays. It's true that the next upgrade may require several orders of magnitude more than you have. But it's never necessary to leave the game alone for days; you can get those orders of magnitude much faster by stacking up buffs and combos with all the minigames (pantheon, garden, magic grimoire) and actively clicking all the golden cookies.
