Arcades weren't and still aren't pay to win.
Even with ticket redemption games, they aren't pay to win.

Arcade games didn't try to lie to you by saying that a game was free but impossible to do anything without paying. And not all arcade games were pay to win. Compare Pac-Man to X-men Arcade.

Neither are many mobile games. Skill & patience can win the day. Or.....

The popular concept of buying Energy or turns (the ability to play) is basically the exact same.

No, it's not LOL. Of all things to argue about, you choose this.

Cant play with no energy
You buy some more.

Cant play with no lives.
You but some more.

Mobile gaming can have other options (sometimes) but thats the gist of it. That element is the same. Now, the difference with many arcades is that they dont give you any free play. So, in that sense.... Mobile gaming superior. You just wait for your energy to recharge and pick up from where you left off. But yea

The concept of buying lives is very much alive in mobile gaming.

Wasn't "high score" an arcade gambling mechanic?

People would put in all kinds of quarters to be the best. You had to keep paying to get good enough for bragging rights.

Let's see, arcades aren't pay to win where you actually don't win anything like "free to play" mobile games.

With mobile games you don't win shit and they're is no sense of accomplishment and no skill involved.

and that win solely depends on you

is getting the newest/latest/op stuff the 'win' condition? and don't forget, they'll be updating those stuff for newer 'win' conditions which i fell victim to back then
