Avoid video games that use extrinsic motivation. A video game should at least mostly rely on intrinsic motivation, meaning that the playing of the game itself is the fun part, not the reward you get for playing the game. If you don’t enjoy the gameplay, but you want to earn lootboxes, you’ve fallen into the intentionally exploitative system operating within so many games nowadays, and you need to find another game, because you’re not having fun.
It doesn’t sound serious, but this kind of thing can make depression way worse if you’ve already got depression.
I agree and this method is dangerously verging on the exacerbation of our natural ludopathy (the addiction to gambling and or games)
I mean, did you even know the name for this addiction?
It gives me the creepies because it feels like we are being herded into ludopathy and stupor.
Also I feel like In app purchases are a lazy way of making money as an industry.
