Microtransactions

[StormyFire]

Do you buy any items in mobile games?

I have gotten a few packs on Clash of Clans but that's about it. A lot of mobile games have so many microtransactions that you'd go broke trying to buy everything. XD

Yes I do. I mostly buy in mobile legends and so far that has worked for me. Like it's not a big amount and I can get some small skin and other powerup items.

Well, it's been long time since i play any game in mobile, but when i played Clash of Clans I remember i've spent like €80-€100 (not all at once)

No. I just deal with the ads, and don't pay for any microtransactions.

Only some football game where i bought a player upgrade or something. Other than that, I don't bother buying digital stuff in mobile games. 

I'll sometimes buy a game, but I rarely pay to remove ads or stuff. Of the ads are a problem I usually uninstall the game.

I wouldn't install everything I see around mobile games. I will only install what feels right to me, base on the budget I have for each upgrade in the game.

If you get into the mobile based metaverse you are going to see the microtransactions no matter what. Because in game items for which you need to pay are often essential.

Doesn't mean much from me since I typically just play for free as long as I can when I'm bored and only have a phone on me 😛 But I do not buy apps or ingame content in apps. I rather be on a PC screen 😛

I don't buy the game apps via play store or app store annually or their about. I simply download and play the game freely.

I only paid for a microtransaction once, and that was last night (12-23-21). i downloaded a game that I really enjoyed but there were ads after every single stage. I finally got sick of it, and paid to stop all the ads. Now I can just play in peace.

You fit money to cover up for that young woman, I wouldn't try that by upgrading the game from showing Ads. For me, it will display ads and get tired of displaying it.

Not all microtransactions are for ads removal. Some are there for the pay to win setup of the game too.

My money, my choice.

Another microtransaction industry growing latley is in blockchain games. You can't even play unless you feed that system with small amount every threshold.

Yup, blockchain and nft nonsense. I never understood how we got here. Nfts are blowing up right now, so I could see more games featuring them. 

Idk about that last part. You can play these games, nfts and stuff are being added in for guns, skins and other stuff. It shouldn't impede your progress any.
