I’m glad I freed myself from micro transaction mobile games.

especially games where you have to wait 2 to three days to complete a task or pay more for instant completion. Forget that. I’m looking at you High school story

Congratulations, it's a big achievement overcoming the skinner box set up by the mobile gaming industry.

Make sure to stay away from Genshin and other gacha games, those are even worse by incorporating literal gambling into the micro transactions.

Congratulation, thought i found the easiest freed from micro transaction is by being broke

Why on earth you would play such games? Congratulations, bruh, for overcoming sunk cost fallacy.

I mean, I hate the games described by OP, but not gacha games like Honkai (Star Rail. Impact's stamina system is BS for the same reason the games OP described are. Why would I want to play a game that tells me I can't play it until I'm done waiting for an unnecessary and arbitrarily long period of time while in the middle of it?) for as long as I can get the resources needed to pull just by playing the game at least. And there's nothing really stopping you from enjoying the game itself without pulling, so long as you don't get to hung up on 'missing out on' characters, and you got enough of a spread to handle the different roles in a party for gameplay.

Just play single player games that won't limit anything you can do. Games where you can keep just playing without any sort of stamina system or daily limit, where you can just gather as many resources as you want. Where you get a set of characters and that's it, instead of having to hope for RNG to give you the "optimal" characters for every single little thing.

yeah, this. all the gachas i play are this. either the gacha isnt directly connected to monetization (only skins and stuff) or the gacha currency is easily earnable in sufficient amount just through playing to be able to pull modestly or save for pulls for limited time chars.

i dont think i could play anything like genshin or FGO where the gacha really is a money sink.

 

[AwakenFreddy]

As someone that play fgo i think its alright, well if you want every banner you dont have enough free resource, but once in awhile it good.
Thought i play for the stories so i rarely pull when i have good enough for progression lol.
And yeah mostly use free character. Zerker Jeanne for the win

Gratz, it's a big achievement.

Many of those games are fun and casual enough to almost get me hooked, but boy, the predatory monetization is sickening.

Never go back, you don't need those evil pixels!
