minus-squarePetteriPano@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up48·2 days agoI’ve tried some of scopely’s games. They’re following this playbook to the letter. You’ll be getting freebies when your friends spend cash. You’ll get time limited offers. You’ll be paying to “try again”, against other players. Who wins when a wall street broker and an oil sheikh use their wallets to fight over a Pokémon gym? Scopely wins.
