An employee going to work most days of the week is the expectation for most jobs, but microtransaction-driven games operate on another level. Players do not get weekends or holidays off from their login streaks, and there are no vacation days or sick days that can substitute for doing their dailies. A few non-freemium games leverage similar tactics to promote daily game play, such as the Animal Crossing titles. The New Horizons paid DLC, Happy Home Paradise , gave players less guilt trips for missing a few days, unlike the core game, where villagers would make it clear how heartbroken they are over the player’s absen

When any new game is released that has no purchase price, gaming fans rightfully question the real costs involved. The recently released game Tower of Fantasy is free to download and play, but its gacha mechanics incentivize spending money. Every day when a player logs into games like Genshin Impact banners Impact or Marvel Strike Force they see various ads for current promotions, most of which encourage spending real-world money either directly or by implication. By motivating players to log in daily, these games have more opportunities to advertise their rotating specials to the player base, adding to the likelihood of spend

Many games arguably follow the same model as a career. Nearly every RPG features tangible advancement gained through grinding battles, much like the nine-to-five grind of a rank-and-file employee. Dragon Quest players routinely master the Mage and Priest job classes to access the superior Sage job, which parallels moving from entry level positions to management. Yakuza: Like A Dragon satirically leaned into the comparison, as players went to Japan’s real-life job placement service Hello Work to change clas
