I had underestimated how bad some mobile games have gotten; Whenever I use Duolingo, there's this Township ad that hss this Age of Empires/Rollercoaster Tycoon type of vibe, but doesn't actually feature anything from the ad in the game.
As I did like the game from the ad, I actually tried to look up a game similar to the ad and ended up at this game called My Mini Mart which featured the actual gameplay mechanics from the Township ad. I had a feeling it was gonna be "freemium" with micro transactions, but wasn't prepared for the fact there was gonna be an ad break what felt like every thirty seconds!
I didn't want to pay for an ad free version of the game, but eventually gave up and deleted the entire app as I was tired of the constant ad breaks that featured games exactly like the one I was playing and so many ads where the skip button wouldn't work properly.
The whole experience made me feel like I was a cog in the profit machine of what felt like an endless pyramid scheme worth of mobile games full of misleading ads.
Fortunately I still have Age of Empires, Rollercoaster Tycoon, and even similar games like Caesar II and Age of Mythology on CD to play on my computer, but it is disappointing that I couldn't enjoy a normal game without it trying to generate as much profit as it could from me.
How did we get here? Did the economy really get this bad or have (mobile) gaming companies gotten more greedy?
Games are supposed to be a form of escapism or any way of unwinding from this capitalist hellhole that we live in, not contribute to it! Mobile gaming has become such a luxurious hobby, it seems.
Yes, that’s 100 percent true, now you can play the demo version of Caesar game online and even buy for the same, find more information on mentioned link.
