Posted by exodus on November 10, 2015 at 15:20:18 EST in reply to I REALLY dont want to piss anyone off, but your accurate description of the average gambler sounds like the average mobile gamer. Except of course, gamblers need to walk to an ATM, and most mobile gamers have their bank accounts directly linked, often without even the hurdle of password protection, to their accounts. "What are you telling me my friend is playing, dear phone? Its 0.99? Purchase made". "The iphone now has folder support! I was so annoyed that i had 16 pages of games to scroll through!" (n/t) from Mental.
that's a pretty outdated view. most folks are trying out the free games to see if they like them, then paying for items in the ones their friends may be playing, or just the ones that are popular. It's not so different from a rental/purchase model in the old days, just a lot easier, and the games are more like work than fun.
