While it is an insane amount, movies don't run for years on end at all hours around the world. This comparison makes no sense.

I like Fate and I like gacha games but that's still gross, who is paying all that money for a free game

though I think FGO is notorious for having terrible rates on everything?

Whales are the ones paying all that. Your typical whale will max out everything and when theres a 1% chance of pulling a 5*/SSR and you need like 5 copies total of it....yeah not uncommon to drop a few thousand dollars per banner

How many GSSRs have there been? They've gotten exactly that much out of me.

I'm done with the game except for probably eventually playing through the story so that's the last they're getting from me, at least!

it's sort of a catch-22 to me

if i'm already enjoying a game, why do i need to put extra money in?
and if i'm not enjoying a game, why would i dump money into it?

i feel like i'm being difficult here, and maybe i should be glad i don't get it

It's the same reason why so many people dump money into loot boxes, it's all a gamble to get something they want. And a game simple won't stay running if people aren't spending (or isn't putting up ads for revenue, which I hear tends to be really small anyways).

There are a lot of psychological factors being played here, but I'm not getting into that.

(And shameless plug that people should play Mobius: Final Fantasy before the servers close at the end of June)

I don't "dump money" into Pokemon Go - I guess it depends how you define it - but I have spent on it now and then.

It's just very very addictive and when you're in a community you're even more inspired to buy shit

This is easily the biggest thing for people who are confused or haven't seen any of these games firsthand. The code has long been cracked and all the big successes these days are very specifically designed to appeal to the human brain on a chemical level in such a way that you feel compelled to spend.

Theyve even found their way to toys for kids. There are so many blind bag where its a mystery which of the dozen or more designs youll get so kids want to buy more to try and get their favorite on the back of the box or whatever. So many toy lines are doing it now. Makes me wonder if there will be a rise in gamblers when the current generation grows up

when I have spent money on a mobile game, which is not very often. Just FF Record Keeper. It is because I justify it like, I have been playing it 4 years so spending $20 here or there is not bad.

The people that spend hundreds a week, I do not get. But I mean, if you have the money I guess.

I can't understand spending money on Pokemon Go in normal circumstances. What would money even get you? You get 50 coins a day and can buy everything you want F2P, there's no gacha or anything.

I get it in quarantine because when you can't leave your house you have no income and maybe you want more remote raid passes or something.

Raid Hour, mostly. We go to a place where there's a ton of gyms and hit all of them - usually about 7 in the hour.

That requires passes. Also Pokemon storage.

And, most of all, laziness with the gyms.
