As a big gamer myself, I've kept a close ear to all the problems regarding "free-to-play" models like Candy Crush for the past few years, especially since it has begun to heavily affect premium console game development. I've always seen it as worse than gambling as these companies are making a bulk of their profits from children who use their parents' credit cards. These games are highly engineered to be addictive and profitable. I think there has to be a lot of public discourse and new legislation on this part of the tech industry.

Great article, would love to see more in the future! Followed
