some complain . others just play and ignore the predatory monetization in those game.

i can tell you i had really a lot of fun playing diablo immortal for like 3 weeks when it launched - i never spend a since cent on it.

didnt impact my fun at all that i didnt have battlepass or didnt buy a single of those +812794987897897 % value packs.

you just ignore this like normal people do

The issue is that these buisness models targets people with addiction problems, while the majority of people do not pay they basically run their buisness by abusing these people.

The ammount of money some people spend on mobile gaming is absurd, think there was some dude who went 35000 dollars in debt playing diablo immortal for example.

I have zero interest. I’d forgotten they were even making it tbh. Life’s too short for the time suck that is mobile gaming imho (shakes fist at Candy Crush).

Is it a surprise? The biggest earner for ABK is their mobile games division.

and then the other platforms saw the money and said “good idea”!

It seems like the kind of game people who play mobile games, might have enjoyed 8 years ago. Too little too late.

No one is denying this, that however doesn’t mean we are interested in that.

I remember seeing it banned from release in BE and NL. At the time that said enough to me: ‘Surprise mechanics’ included.

Blood and gore in games will be more PG than easing children in predatory gambling mechanics. Mobile gaming is really the worst. :dracthyr_crylaugh:

Exactly, I was very disappointed. I would have loved chilling in bed just playing battle pets on my tablet or phone.

Dont know we cant play it here.

The two mobile games i will vouch for is Genshin and Limbus (both strictly pve gachas).

Although genshin has an issue with events having notable story content and still get removed once they are over.

Limbus is still fairly young, but is the 3rd games in a qute engaging series that have some wonderful sound design, with Lobotmoy corporation and Library of Ruina begin the predecessors.

As for warcraft rumble, tried the pvp mode and it seems ripe for p2w. While again the way you get units is that the content of your lootbox is spread over a 3x3 grid, and picking your wanted units replaces anything along a + from it.

Oh and you need the unit 4 times for it to reach it’s max strength.

Oh and there is a time limit to win, so again. If your units are too weak you lose by default.

It will probably crash and brun within a year

Briefly a kid game

Personal perspective; I’m not gonna play a mobile game. Possibly ever.

There just isn’t a scenario where I’d like to play a game, have time to play a game, and I’m not home - and if I’m at home, my PC desk and 32" monitor are a more compelling place to sit than hunched over a 6" phone. I already slouch enough without adding reasons to sit like a prawn :dracthyr_sweat:

I like mouse and keyboard control. I like deep, rich, immersive, sandbox games that I can get lost in, not pick-up/put-down on-rails experiences with a bunch of microtransactions to bleed money out of me by stealth.

Whether this is a modern, majority view idk, but it’s why I have no interest in mobile games. I don’t mind them existing - I do think microtransactions need regulating because they feel a lot like they’re targeting addictive tendencies and getting people to spend money via compulsive habit rather than volition.

i dont play any kind of mobil games. screens too small, gameplay often broken down to the absolut minimum and most of them are just cash grabs.

Not going to invest any time or money in it.

Individually, they are fine. Together, they coagulate into this wretched monstrosity that is largely responsible for almost every single franchise you enjoyed from the mid 2000s being dead or on its last legs today.

I am sure Chinese and Korean people with no relationships and too much money from working 12 hour shift IT jobs will ‘enjoy’ it, if they can even remember what enjoyment feels like…, but for me? Nope. The world is absolutely stuffed with great games, shows, films, streams and youtube videos these days and I cannot imagine having a phone in my hand, and instead of playing a fun puzzle game or just talking to people or browsing the internet, I spend my time on the phone buying pack after pack of absolutely worthless ‘tier 2 foil tauren male warrior’ collectables.

I would rather be pulled from my bed at night and thrown into a pit against 5 American XL Bully dogs with nothing but a spatula as my weapon, than even download one of these F2P | Mobile | Collectible | Online games ever again.
