Just throwing that out there

No disagreement there, but even though the reward has no monetary value, the experience and the odds-making really feel more like gambling than gaming to me. I can't speak for everyone, but much of the space bridge mechanic seems to psychologically affect me the same way a slot machine does. I'll stop there so I don't go too deep and lose people, but there it is. It's strange how, even beyond the awesome Transformers nostalgia, the game is very compelling at a primal level.
