Yeah that’s my problem with the “at least its free for people with impulse control” angle.

The people who dont will buy it, and the company will begin catering to those people for profit if the company itself doesnt have the impulse control to just take the money and keep making the same game.

If theres a time skip, but the game doesnt require the time skip, less people will buy it. Incentivize the time skip and the free players suffer. So even though you dont have to buy it, your experience is worse.

Id rather a sub so i can unsub when im done playing and my time is honored.
