    I played a gatcha game with a friend when we didn’t know what gacha was and we where trying to build our teams by just playing the game and there where always massive difficulty walls that couldn’t be passed. So we both ended up spending around $500 CAD on that game and farming with our phones open on the game 24/7. We stopped after we understood how predatory the model was.

      Stopped playing Puzzle and dragons after clearing tower of gods for umpteenth time to “efficiently” consume my stamina so it would not get wasted.

      Had this “wtf I am doing with my life moment” as I was no longer having fun and clearing the dungeon over and over was simply booring time waster.

      Started ignoring daily login bonuses and only played when there was new content. Soon after that stopped playing all together.
