Oh wow, just from the title I assumed it was talking about gachas (FGO/Genshin/etc), but no, the "apps" the article is talking about seem to be several orders of magnitudes worse ($100k+) than even gachas (where even fully whaling out on a banner costs you ~$2.5k).
- skippyboxedhero 3y agoGachas are, I think, basically identical. They appeal to a different demo using different processes but a lot of the people who work on games with monetization are using stuff that was learned in the gambling industry (i.e. how to maximize yields, how to treat whales, etc.). Gachas are as problematic as casinos imo.
- janejeon 3y ago> Gachas are, I think, basically identical Which is why I thought the title was about gachas. What I'm trying to point out here is that are extra digits in the amount of money people are losing. This is utterly insane and I'm having a hard time even understanding that number.
