That's not even the half of it - I saw a player the other day with six phones, at least one of which was concurrently running three copies of PoGo. Nine accounts! See also people cheerfully announcing online that they spend $100-$200 per week playing that game... It's quite incredible how deeply hooked some people are.
- HenryBemis 2y agoThere will always be Whales in gaming. I don't know which is healthier (but only between the two): pay $100-$200 per week and play 4-5 hours, or pay monthly $10 and plan 3h-5h on weekdays, 10h on weekends? (latter is my WoW addition from back in the day - I haven't played WoW for more than a decade). It's all about the thrill and the FOMO (brain chemical manipulation at its finest). People should definitely try Chess.
- ehnto 2y agoI don't know if I would recommend chess to people who struggle with online addictions. 3 minute games and ELO make it feel pretty similar to other hedonic treadmils.
- jareklupinski 2y ago> Nine accounts! See also people cheerfully announcing online that they spend $100-$200 per week playing that game sounds like that person was making 900-1800$ a week just by walking around with 6 phones :) meanwhile I'm paying for the privilege of carrying one
- danparsonson 2y agoHehe I hope so but since players are usually spending the money buying game items instead of paying others to play for them, I suspect it's far more likely that person is one of those big spenders...
