Zikten 06/21/18 8:51:16 PM #39:	you know.....maybe if they play like Angry Birds or something......MAYBE but not if they just play that shit where you spend ingame coins to do actions and then wait around or spend real funny to speed it up. like the Smurfs game. Simpsons Tapped Out. stuff like that. the stereotypical modern phone game. I don't consider them real games. and they are mostly played I think by women. who never touch actual games on any system, phone or otherwise <cite>Zikten posted [p:903725209] in Would you ...

Quicksilver 06/21/18 8:54:35 PM #40:	It depends on the game. I know people who only play those idle clicker type games where they just tap some buttons close the game come back in an hour or two and tap more buttons watch some ads for double bonus money.
