Mobile Games like Hero Wars and Homescapes are notorious for their misleading, and, some would say CRINGE ads, but this only goes to highlight deeper problems with the Mobile Gaming industry. Mobile Games make more money than PC and Console games combined, but the mobile games themselves are often just lazy ripoffs and clones of other games with predatory monetization and misleading ads. In this video I explore how Mobile Games manipulate you into spending your money on microtransactions and pay to win upgrades, as well as the current state of mobile gaming and how it could have evolved differently had we as consumers had better standards.
