I'm really ashamed of myself for spending as much as I have over the last few weeks.

I don't spend much 20-25 an episode average, but still that's enough.

When you think about the cost of what it is to make a game like this, I've really considered getting some of my programming friends and come up with our own.

I mean. Really a small team can do this. There is next to no story. Some art design, and values. That's it.

Look at a game like Halo, or The last of us. Years of story boards, huge teams, designers, programmers, beautiful music, and etc, and they charge 50 dollars a game.

This game costs probably nickels and dimes in comparison, and yet if you want something good you have to pay, and it's not guaranteed. I really don't know how people spend 100s of dollars. I wouldn't even if I made a million a day just for the principal.

Plus you get something which you cannot trade or even sell for any monetary value. Unlike a game like Magic the Gathering. I swear it should almost be illegal. Not to mention these games are very appealing to young children who rack up huge costs on their parents. Sadly, not many people feel like we do about it. :/  They just mindlessly keep on pumping away like zombies, which is EXACTLY what mobagay wants and prey on!

I hate it the most because these morons that are willing to go along with this model are going to make it the norm for most systems!

Crap companys like e.a. and mobagay are loving it too! Cheap china style production sold at highest rates possible, and the idiots keep on spending!

So now they are moving this system toward the consoles... PS4 soon will introduce the Free2Play model. Not because it is better, but because it is better for them and people allow it!

It is disgusting! Well I don't think it'll hit consoles like it has here.

Look at Dust514. Awsome game. Free to play. It's a MMO FPS game set in the Eve Online Universe. I won't get much into it, but if your not sure. Look it up.

It's free to play, but here's the real kicker. It not "Pay to Win" as how CPP has put it (The devs of the game)

I spent 20 bucks a month to play it, but not because I had to, but for 1) To support them, and 2) Just to get the minor ex boost. You can buy weapons and etc with in game money or real money, and the real money stuff is not any better than what you got if you just played normally.

To get the XP boost though you had to use the real money credits, which IMO was well worth it, and it felt more like paying a subscription, something like WoW, but at least you got something for it, and if you don't want to, that was fine. You would level up a little bit slower (The XP boost also didn't give you a huge advantage as your capped after a certian amount per week, so once you hit your cap you had to wait till the reset which was every 7 days)

Mobage can learn a lot about those games.

And to the people on here defending this crap. Do what you want. I'm uninstalling this game, and moving on. Like I said, I'm just going to buy more vintage toys off ebay and whatever I can find locally.

Why would anyone want to spend 100-200 or 300 dollars on a game for cards which have no monetary value? Why not go out and buy Sidney Crosby's rookie card, and other things. You can get nice displays to hang them on your wall. Years later, if you had to, you could sell it, and guess what? You'll probably make money, unlike this BS which will all disappear in a flash when they take their games offline.

All mobage is, is a company with a bunch of programmer who couldn't do a good job making real games IMO, and as I said before. This sort of thing is not hard, and I've mentioned to some friends and they are interested in making this type of game, but with other elements, because like those of you who defend this crap. There are lots of suckers out there who are willing to throw money out the window, so I might as well grab it while your all to happy to throw it away.
