I lived like this for most of my adult life until my wife's coworker told us the real value is converting cc points into airline miles or hotel points! We reserved a crazy hotel in Tokyo later this year at a rate of $400/night via points but reserving normally is like $3000/night 😭

Oh people are very silly— this would work great! 100% says business as usual. 200% says hey thanks for sticking around.

Yeah. Probably because the number was always in the top right corner of the UI, having a loyalty score of 0% felt like I was doing something bad.

I've been told (by my therapist) both used together leads to highest success rate for changing behavior. As a consumer product, it does feel icky. Blur did/does this with a "loyalty" score where they see how many listings you have open on OpenSea. No idea how it affects their bottomline but it always felt wrong to me.

💯 I started sympathizing more for content creators when I was scraping every castable banger one week just to make it to the top ten of the leaderboard. It's tough!!

Blogroll is *exactly* the term I've been yearning for and I have all the more reason to start blogging again and roll up my own blogroll. Thank you as always for all the inspiration you provide ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧

The buyers are no different than the ol 90/9/1 social posting ratio. iirc it's like 1% of players account for over 50% of micro transaction volume. I think most game economies have avoided cash outs as it becomes a regulatory nightmare since luck based games edge toward gambling. Skill games like first person shooters tend to avoid pay to win as it ruins the experience for everyone, and instead focus on vanity cosmetic upgrades which have no secondary market since they're often unlimited in supply. MMORPGs like WoW and Diablo historically have had in game items exchanged for fiat secondary markets but I think they're usually against ToS and subject to banning if caught. All this to say that yes game economies do incite players but game studios are happy taking 100% of the cut, and players getting paid to play is a great misconception of why people play games (it turns into a job, ruins the fun)
