So I'm playing this stupid candy crush when I really have nothing smarter to do. Aside from the fact that I only have 5 lives that after I lose them I have to wait ~25 min to regenerate, now I came to lvl 36 and now I either have to: buy my ticket (FUCK YOU NO WAY) or do three stupid 'quests', and I can do only 1 quest per day!

What the fuck! Todays mobile games only look how to rob you ffs!

Oh, and I'm not connecting via fb so my friends can help me with this...

I had the exact same response - the game is designed around making people pay. The level design is bullshit and only sheer luck will see you through about half of them. The entire game is crafted to make it impossible for skill alone to make you win. It's a disgusting game and a sad example of where the industry is heading.

Nah, I'm not playing this because I want to play, it's mostly to play when I'm travelling or going to town, to pass the time.

@red_avatar: Totally true!

Well better be getting back to writing my thesis Sad

The particular system used in Candy Crush is called the "Stamina system"
There could be a 10000-page book on player monetization so much studies have been done, mainly in behavioural psychology, statistics/data mining and of course economics.
Whole subteams of companies devote their time on this subject, with their positions aptly defined. ("Monetization Manager", "Player Behavioural Analyst" etc.)
It's such an ugly truth Sad
5 year old kids grow up with this stuff on their phones and their brains align to these concepts and it will be absolutely natural to them.
The science is evolving and with it the art of manipulation.
A nudge here, a nudge there...Welcome to the future Wink

I'm so staying away from that stuff, avoiding it like the plague. Standard gaming addiction is already draining the 99% of my free time, if by any chance I get addicted to all the dirty mobile pleasure too...well I fear I'd acquire the status of hobo after a week xD

i'm at level 441 on facebook now but i will wait until there is a new update for android. (android ends at 440 for now)
it's much more fun to play it on my phone before i go to sleep or so.

also my gf and friends are playing it and it's fun beating them or helping them
