My barber was complaining just yesterday that her aunt spent $5000 on some mobile game and is in big trouble with her husband. These Gatchapon games are supposed to be just a bit of spending for a bit of fun. But it seems like there is a real gambling problem in their design. Many people cannot help themselves and turn into 'whales'. Then again, the sole purpose of these games is to extract money from their customer base, 'whaling' by design. Why make a game that gets $60 or $70 from every customer when there are so many people out there willing to spend $5000, $10,000 or $20,000 on this crappier, user-hostile model?
