Re: It costs $110k to fully gear up in Diablo Immortal
#2I've watched a lot of discussions about this from twitch streamers and I'm not sure where I stand.. On the one hand I'm amazed at how good this game looks on mobile and if you're just the type to casually play a game not really caring about being the best at it you could have fun playing it for free or for very cheap. On the other hand this game is clearly exploitative and while other games like Hearthstone or Clash Royale have similar pay to win mechanics they also have ways for you to enjoy the game competitively without spending a whole lot of money.
I know some countries banned games like this but I wonder, if these games get banned why not ban casinos too?

#3I knew someone who worked for EA as a UX researcher. He said that games like these are primarily targeting whales who will drop $10k on a game. They are the real money earners. The really sad part was the he said the most whales aren't super rich, they're just people with an addiction.

#4Lootbox games: I don't understand why these kind of games are not getting banned or heavily restricted. There is absolutely not a single positive thing about these games. Moral doesn't matter.

Casinos are banned in many places and also banned for kids in most places.
Clash royale is sad, becouse it is a extremely good game if it were not for the pay to win leveling mechanics. I used to play it alot but it became too frustrating meeting bad players with low ELO but high level cards that you essentially couldn't win over unless they messed up bad.
Edit: To level up all cards in Clash Royale you also have to spend a silly amount of money. Exponential costs.

I've seen similar comments by several game devs, but at least some of them said that they make most of their money from the kids of the ultra-wealthy. Think of some oil Sheik's son bored to death at home because it's too hot to go outside.
But yeah, the "loot boxes" that are mostly gambling have been banned in many countries because they're targeted at young children.

More countries need to adopt similar laws.

it won't be available in the Netherlands or Belgium, because we have laws against them, now they just don't release the games here. I hope more of the EU will join us with similar laws so it will become impactful.
