The daily grind can kill your desire to play even if the game's generous enough to let you continue for free.

I used to play a really generous gacha with that kind of system. The game was legitimately fun at first, but the daily tasks and time-sensitive events wore me down. I wasn't hurting for resources. My gamer achievement-hunting brain was wired to do it all, to the point where it started to feel more like a job than a game. This kind of design is rotten to the core regardless of the price tag. Just let me experience the game at my own pace instead of setting a schedule for me.

    That is until you encounter your first loot box, gacha, or whatever scheme your game of choice is running.

    Ah, the notorious "please uninstall me" button

    If you search for Unreal Tournament on the Epic Games Store, it lists them as "Top Results From Other Stores" and points you to a URL that resolves with: Server Not Found.

    If Epic care so little about their own products, why should I?
