One Player Spent $150,000 On A Bad Transformers Game
17,442The sheer amount of shady money flowing through the mobile games market is staggering. A mountain of shoddy free-to-play titles are raking in cash from so-called "whales" without a shred of accountability.
One such game, Transformers: Earth Wars was recently revealed to have made $150,000 off a single player, and developer Yodo1 is not ashamed to spread the word.
It is a bad game. I played it. It's awful. It doesn't matter if these games are good, however, they just have be insidiously designed enough to con people out of cash. Which is exactly what dozens - if not hundreds - of mobile games are doing.
