Freemium mobile games are the thing right now. Almost every mobile game developer has adopted this model, and it is a bit of a problem to be honest, mainly in the way the games are designed to force the players to spend.
Back in the day, consumers would pay for a game and have the time of their lives when playing. However, things are different in this day and age, as a single idiotic mobile game can cost a person far more than the $60 it takes to purchase a video game for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
Last night's episode of South Park was all about opening the eyes of the blind. The Freemium mobile game business is a dirty tactic, yet it makes a lot of money. You see, only a small portion of Freemium mobile game players actually spend any money, and these are the people the developers are targeting. The players are willing to spend real currency to purchase in-game currency on a regular basis.
