[Applause]
before we begin we publish new videos
every day
so be sure to subscribe for more great
content for this list we are once again
looking at the most Garlin examples of
games that drive players to spend money
in order to make their experiences more
bearable this includes developers
deliberately making gameplay tedious
introducing forced delays and slowdowns
in the resource flow and other
frustrating tactics greater to make you
spend more money number 10 realm of the
mad God as ideas go a top-down online
shooter set in a fantasy realm and
presented with 8-bit graphics is
definitely alluring indeed it seems many
were drawn to realm of the mad God based
on how addicting and enthralling the
core experience was alas the game’s
free-to-play nature means
microtransactions became a fundamental
part of play specifically they let
players purchase gear character slots
and other items that make the game
easier while some have claimed that the
port items aren’t essential to making
progress the reality is that these
purchases are made to be enticing and
force an imbalance in play
[Music]
the benign crossfire
[Music]
the pay2win nature of this online FPS
hasn’t hampered its popularity as it’s
currently the most played game in its
genre with over 650 million registered
players one glance at the online shooter
crossfire is enough to see that it’s
clearly inspired by the terrorist vs.
Counter Terrorist combat planet by
counter-strike where crossfire drops a
ball is in adding special weapons and
gear to its lineup which are
unsurprisingly Walled after all but
paying customers separating the game’s
content with a paywall is bad enough but
having said separate items be unique and
potentially better in stats is what
earns a spot on this list number 8 Star
Trek Online 2 the bridge number one
when Gene Roddenberry first conceived
Star Trek in 1964 it’s hard to imagine
this was where he expected or wanted the
series to boldly go Star Trek Online
does a great deal to capture the spirit
and tone of the earliest shows from the
focus on space exploration the
resolution of long-standing storylines
unfortunately its craters also made the
decision to split the available starship
lineup into two groups those who earned
it through play and those who obtained
it via microtransactions
that the ship’s players get from
continuous play are often inferior to
their paid counterparts is just further
salt in the wound
[Music]
remember seven World of Tanks
[Music]
the setup a play with developer
wargaming’s World of Tanks is simply
enticing you and a number of players
ride around in tanks combating one
another across a massive battlefield
it’s free-to-play origins and variety of
tanks helped in earning it goodwill
which meant something was bound to go
wrong eventually enter the premium tanks
and ammunition which were most easily
obtained via in-game purchase and which
increasingly proved more powerful than
the free alternatives in addition World
of Tanks harshly divided the games
community on whether or not it was the
right creative decision that was in the
best interest of the players number 6
LITTLEST PET SHOP moving kids are safe
from predatory money-making schemes a
tie-in game to Hasbro’s toy brand of the
same name littlest pet shop attempts to
blend city development with the
franchise’s focus on caring for adorable
cartoon creatures all seems well until
it becomes apparent how often it is
interrupted by ads that have nothing to
do with a LITTLEST PET SHOP
then there’s the presence of in-game
purchases which can cost up to 80 US
dollars and require parents to actively
set up safeguards to prevent unwanted
spending of funds it all just feels
exploitative
of the inexperienced and naivete of
children
[Music]
number five game of wool fire age
they’re really excited to meet you
chances are good that at some point
people have at least glimpsed an
advertisement for machines owns highly
profitable freemium game of war mixing
player versus player battle with army
and city management the game was deemed
by many as competent but unremarkable
and yet it’s consistently profitable the
reason is rather simple inter woven it’s
a game of war the special bonuses that
speed up play offering extra resources
for construction that are linked to in
app purchases the range between a few to
a hundred dollars these so-called
bonuses are part of a system that subtly
drives players to spend their real
currency in order to have a better
experience with the game giving them an
edge over other players so tell me
[Music]

number for mobile strike I’m back
speaking of machines own they also have
a toe dipped into the genre of military
combat strategy games their 2015 release
mobile strike tasks you with
constructing and training an army over
the course of many hours with a certain
degree of grinding bill into the
experience fortunately this time spent
on setting up said army can be sped up
with just a few dollars of real-world
money or potentially hundreds of dollars
based on some reports mobile strike by
design uses the offer of improving game
functionality and speed to squeeze
players for every dollar possible hasta

number three clash Royale
fun times don’t take away from the gross
nature of audience exploitation
case-in-point clash royale the 2016
spin-off of clash of clans which appears
to be likable enough with is charismatic
visuals and interesting card based
strategy combats
yet under the surface is a system of
microtransactions and control
progression that limits that players
ability to reach higher levels or max
out every card they own unless they pay
money forcing people to part with their
funds in order to have more fun and get
more fulfillment from clash royale is
awful from concept to execution
[Music]
number two infestation survivor stories
no matter what the incarnation it’s
shady and slimy grief driving the whole
production beginning life as the war Z
this open world survival game pitted
players against the undead and
occasionally against one another
controversy overtook the game upon
release though as it was discovered that
the game’s global inventory where vital
survival items were sold for pounds of
game money did not save the players
possessions when they died coupled with
a later update that added
microtransactions for decreasing a
respawn timer the entire affair left
players feeling cheated out of their
money number 1 our cage
[Music]
if the prospect of paying real-world
currency to make a game more bearable
words upsetting enough try adding an
elitist bent to the matter this is the
situation in which the multi-faceted
MMORPG known as our gauge found itself
sometime after its launch to get the
most out of its city planning and
economic management mechanics players
are expected to spend actual money on
Apex credits so as to get the best gear
and goods possible with any players who
don’t buy into this economy are treated
by their peers as second-class citizens
left at a disadvantage really not
engaging with the aspect of ArcheAge way
to make the experience and welcoming to
all present do you agree with our picks
