We know that mobile games are bad, right? But I had no idea just how poisonous
some of them are. And that’s because I’ve been secretly talking with developers
from big companies and I was told exactly how these games exploit the players
psychology to get them to spend money.

  1. Those games that deserve attention are called Premium games which have a section in the store, although many titles do not show so you have to search manually. There are plenty of youtube channels that display good premium games you can look for.

  2. blah blah blah Mr. Freeman. Your credibility is like 0 talking about how toxic Mobile Games are while promoting a Mobile Game.

  3. Wait a minute, the odds of a lottery are also publicly known. So are odds of a royal flush in Poker. I don’t see how that changes anything. It’s still gambling.

  4. Are you serious? Sponsored by Raid Shadow Legends? I really thought you were trolling and building up to a lesson!

  5. While watching this video I’m just so proud of myself that none of these tricks work on me. Maybe the f2p game (& the only one) I play Infinity Nikki is very lenient when it comes to spending extra money on it.

    I’m also very very far from a normal person so that probably also contributes to it.

    I don’t really know you but it is very ironic that you put a Raid Shadow Legends advert in this video about criticizing mobile games.

  6. One game I quite enjoy is Data Wing. It’s a very simple racing kinda game in a level format. It’s got a nice story that you don’t need to pay attention to in order to have fun, and the controls are simple, but fun to get good at. Plus it’s totally free.

  7. 20:16 actually the thing developer wants the most out of battle passes is not increase spending, but more playtime. The more you play, the more you are addicted, the more you spend

  8. Micro transactions in games are evil and horrible, but first let me tell you about our sponsor raid shadow legends

  9. You’re so talking about a bad game then you just don’t say well today’s versus raid shadow legends, which is a bad game that makes you pay

  10. U included Brawl Stars in the video but actually Brawl Stars is really F2P, a comunity event every month, ACTUALLY FUN. u should try it! Lololololololololol

  11. Absolutely no mention of data theft and selling? With special attention paid to the See See Pee and social creeee dit programs? *programs coming soon to a Western nation near you.

  12. Soul knight.

    Warframe.

    BTW I know this is engagement farming (possibly mobile games made me cynical).

    But still I do hate these kinds of predatory practices.

  13. It’s ironic that you talk about how toxic, evil and greedy mobile games are just to sponsor yet another similar mobile game like Raid: Shadow Legends.
    However, it’s actually really fitting for this video, scummy those fake mobile games ads and those mobile games company are.

  14. This desperate loser just advertised for Raid Shadow Legends and then waited for his 4 IQ fans to defend him. What a sad joke of a human being.

  15. remember, not all mobile games are bad. These degenerate, disingenuous, Whaling, bastard, I ran out of words game developers make the actually good mobile games look bad, they also put shame on the mobile game industry as a whole.
