I hate that even games I like have really predatory monetization schemes. “Oh cool, a Sylvie and Mobius card set to celebrate the new Loki season! Gotta buy it soon - only 4 days left! Oh, wait, it’s $100 for two imaginary cards.” - ThreadSky

Yeah, I pretty much memory hole the entire store outside of the daily credits boost and insta-upgrade sections if there's a weekly mission asking for card upgrades or collection levels...

I have a hard time seeing how someone ever establishes the notion that Marvel Snap isn't just another exploitative skinner box.

It's also a fun card game, maybe?

$100 OR playing diligently for MONTHS before this and saving any gold bars you served so far... 🤢

Goddamn that's egregious *stares at Street Fighter Duel, where it's even more expensive*

I know it's mostly because it's the only mobile game I play heavily, but it's always such a culture shock when I see prices in Snap compared to any other game, especially when the offering is literally just an image.
