Hey everyone! I’ve been thinking about how mobile games have changed over the years. I used to enjoy buying a game once and having the full experience without ads or extra payments. Now it feels like everything is built around microtransactions. I found this article: https://www.jedinews.com/misc/articles/why-pay-once-mobile-games-are-vanishing/, and it explains why this shift happened and how it affects both players and developers. It got me wondering — do you think free-to-play games can really match the quality of those old pay-once titles?

Just came across this thread and it’s pretty interesting. Even as someone who doesn’t play a lot, I’ve noticed how common in-app purchases have become. It seems like the whole industry shifted its approach, not just in gaming but in many digital products. Makes you think about how user expectations have evolved over time.
