I remember seeing a post recently about MH World where someone asked "how much they are allowed to grind" and I felt this deep sadness

I think some people in their 20s and younger have been so conditioned by mobile game/ F2P daily login and season pass FOMO bullshit at this stage that it’s just been burned into them sadly

Not saying older people are immune to it of course, but I feel like people who grew up with those mechanics are more likely to expect them.

Oh for sure, people, especially if they arent able to buy many games growing up, had to stick to the few they had. But nowadays you can easily play a new one with these mechanics which leads to those mechanics being "the norm" for them I think.

Yeah, basically. Free games will be more accessible to younger people (because free) but they’re also more likely to have these mechanics (because free).

Oh there is certainly that. I'm talking more about the grifters who are mostly in their 30's and 40's, the kind who never grew up. I can see why a lot of people who grew up on a lot of free to play and FOMO games now feel like they do.
