The worst part is that they do this because it works. Mobile gaming is just fundamentally broken and the only way to fix it is to fix psychology (which obviously won't happen).

Banning gacha games would be a start.

I have no issue in purchasing some extra stuff, but no timed items or random stuff.

And I have to add to it.. I mean buying stuff that matters. Not just skins or anything. More like a actual DLC with more story, new characters etc. Which add a new level of experience to the game

I agree. That's just like buying a sequel, without having to download a second copy of the same game engine.

If any of the major publishers were smart they'd just make an emulator for phones and sell classic games on it like Nintendo does on its consoles.

I mainly use my phone to play psx and psp games. It's amazing how well it works.
