Cumulus Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 As a mobile gamer, in-app purchases are plentiful, and present in most major games. Do you endorse their inclusion in games and do you ever use them to upgrade your gaming experience? Or do you frown upon them and refuse to purchase to play?

Shagger Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 The "freemiun" platform needs to fuck off and die. End of discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I prefer pure paid or pure free. Anything in between is just churning leech. I think pure paid is decent approach because you know there is nothing more to deal with. we need to bring back that world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mobile market has become a cesspool of microtransaction activity and I know microtransactions have found its way into many other sectors but the mobile market is ridiculously saturated with these freemium apps.

Yeah indeed. I don't mind paying up front but buy gun inside the game, buy character and play. that sort of the experience worst. I think Paid and in transaction is kind of worst thing that happened in gaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrik Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 What's annoying is that some games are free but mostly based on purchasable stats, that what pushed me to stop playing Asphalt Airborne, the game was so much fun till they decided to update it and make coins impossible to earn without paying for them ( they basically increased the cars prices and other items as well ...)

Syntax Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 I understand some of them, but others are painful to see people buy. A lot of the time I think they are valid unless they seriously change the gameplay (ex; give you more powers, special items, etc.) that you wouldn't get otherwise.

skyfire Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 There is a concept called battle points which you can earn by playing the games. but it is not an easy task if you ask me. A lot of games force you to pay for the in game items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyfire Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Worst games are those where you are being told that you should churn and pay for the character which is strong for the game, buy and play it. well that is pretty disturbing in games.

What about those games that limit you at every turn and force you to pay for everything. The worse P2W games I've seen are all on mobile platforms.

Heatman Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Well, it's not all the games that I play that I do such expenses not unless the game is actually worth my buying stuffs on it, then I will do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egghead Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 I make in game purchases to level up, buy new armors and weapons, etc. It is fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 What about in-app purchases, like buying the game outrightly from Google or Apple store? I do manage upgrade when it comes to mind, or when it enticed me to do, and not all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst part about it is that it doesn't get anywhere near the same kind of attention as games on consoles or PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
