I want to delete it, but I can't bring myself to... 😭
Mobile games are really testing my self-control🥹 Every time I can't resist spending money, I tell myself: "No! This is the last time, I can't spend again!" I even think about just deleting the game and ending it all😤 But then I feel reluctant... After all, I've already spent money, wouldn't deleting it now be a waste? 😭 So— I don't delete the game and keep playing. As I play, I end up spending again😱 Then I regret it, and want to delete the game again... It's an endless cycle～♻️ My self-control is just too weak😮💨

Aww, I totally get that feeling! It's so hard to let go when you see all the effort you've put in. It's not a lack of self-control, it's proof you were super invested! Next time you feel like deleting, maybe try taking a few days to cool off and don't put too much pressure on yourself, okay?

I don't really feel like playing, and I won't be spending any money.

Should I call it a willpower issue... hmm Rather, I tend to explain it with the psychological mechanism of 'I've saved it, so it'd be a waste to delete it.' It's the concept of 'I've already bought it, so it's a waste to throw it away.' Although what you mentioned about willpower isn't entirely wrong, I feel that way of putting it is a bit negative lol Many research results have shown that the source of 'revenue from spending' in free-to-play games mostly comes from 'individuals with more vulnerable 'psychological or social conditions'; And this 'vulnerability' doesn't strictly mean 'economic' (I'm not saying people who spend money are poor lol don't misunderstand) It refers to those with 'weaker psychological defenses' / facing 'social setbacks in reality' Or... the 'lack of self-control' you mentioned.

Ee.
I've never spent money on the game, because I feel like I wouldn't be able to delete it if I did, so I just don't spend.

If your financial situation allows, a small amount of spending is fine. I play until the other party shuts down their server 👀 (I don't even delete it)

I was that kind of player too, until I went on a big spending spree once and suddenly snapped out of it. Now I mostly just spend small amounts.

Anyway, if you can't afford to whale like the top players, you might as well not spend.

I'd only consider permanent ad removal and the $1 beginner pack, nothing else would make me spend money 😅
