Making me the true winner in the end.
Today's word: Spankological
"It [today's comic] also allowed us to return to a classic Penny Arcade pastime, that of kicking sponsors directly in the mouth. I can already feel my youthful vigor return!"
-Tycho Brahe
-Special upgrades unlocked with premium currency
-Temporary buffs like super rapid clicking or increased money per second
-Time skip (spend some funbux, get your next 24 hours of idle instantly)
-Whatever the "start over but better" system is called, get more of it for premium currency
-Gacha style units with the best ones almost impossible to get without premium currency
-Crazy expensive upgrades that would take weeks, or just spend a dollar or so in premium currency
-Lootboxes containing any of the above
-Lootboxes containing any of the above INCLUDING the above lootboxes, because God no longers loves His creation and all is now misery
Like... seriously, these are games built around arbitrarily long progress bars that get geometrically longer by design. How hard is it to imagine the horrible ways they can be monetized? Take Dungeon Keeper Mobile and strip out everything except the progress bars and the numbers and it still wants you to spend exactly as much money to get anywhere.
Do they? Or is that just a guess? Signed out of ClubPA (no ads) and refreshed several times and never got one.
They have a bunch of their characters in the game. I figured the developer paid them money for that license. That's what I assumed the "sponsor" bit was.
It's like they saw Battlefront II and said "Hold my 4Loko"
There aren't any ads for anything anywhere on the site that aren't PA related as far as I can tell. Sponsorship doesn't necessarily equate to ads.
