This was supposed to be a reply in the "dead internet theory in online games" thread but since that thread was deleted, I'll just make another thread on my own.
A typical strategy in FTP MMORPG games is that they would run accounts with ridiculous high stats themselves and use those to engage competition with top players - just so those players will pay more in order to win the "competition" that's rigged from start. MMORPG is an eye opening scene, you'd see people invest thousands of dollars, several times above the average salaries, in the most soulless, contentless, shittest mobile trash you can imagine likes as if it was nothing.
There're also fake ads, which I don't know why it isn't forbidden but it must have been working like charm considering this strategy still dominates the mobile market after these years. What else shady businesses practice in the video game market you are aware of and what's your experience on them? Share if you like.
