That’s every digital marketplace.
Ah yes, the games are the problem, not the system in which they are created.
It's the video games that are the problem. Clearly.
In this case, yes.
Game developers employing psychologists to design systems to suck out money out of kids are a real problem, regardless of the context. Similar to advertisement targeted at children, but squared.
I agree w the sentiment but not the exact statement; games themselves arent the problem, but theyre starting to become a part of it due to disgusting practices by folks like tencent n em.
Ironically one cool studio that doesnt indulge in such practices is fromsoftware. Just drops peak and keeps moving, even tho i believe theyre owned, at least partially or to some extent, by tencent as well? (scary)
It's the video games makers really, not video games as a whole. There are ways to make video games without getting kids to spend their parents' money.
But it's just cosmetic! /s
