The spongebob game wasnt so bad. It had like a login bonus but it didnt seem to be too bad But once we got into the lego star wars game the f2p bullshit started. And oh god. This game clearly designed for kids had all the f2p bullshit. Login bonuses. Gridnyness. Multiple in game currencies. The daily/weekly ect missions. The unlockables
But god the racing game was even worse. 100000 things to unlock and basically nothing is by default basically. Sooooooooooo absurdly grindy. And most harrowing of all… i swear to god… 5 seperate in game currencies.
I want to reach out and scream to him “games werent always like this maaaaan”
There’s monetization on Apple Arcade? I thought the whole point was that most of the games were “plus” versions of mobile games just without the microtransactions. I wouldn’t be surprised if companies were double dipping though, and doubly unsurprised if Apple was fine with that.
Turns out these are just like “repurposed” f2p games or something? Like they were originally f2p but they just haphazardly took the micros out so youre just left with grindy disasters lol
