Hey everyone! I was thinking about how different mobile gaming feels now compared to a few years ago. Back then, I remember buying a game once and just enjoying it without interruptions. Now everything seems built around ads or constant purchases. I came across this article: https://www.jedinews.com/misc/articles/why-pay-once-mobile-games-are-vanishing/, and it really explains how the whole market shifted toward free-to-play because it makes way more money for developers. It’s kind of crazy how fast things changed. Do you think there’s still a place for pay-once games today?

Just came across this discussion and it’s actually pretty interesting. Even as someone who plays casually, I’ve noticed how normal it’s become to see ads and extra purchases everywhere. It feels like the industry didn’t just change — people kind of adapted to it without realizing. Makes me wonder how future games will look and whether players will ever go back to simpler models.
