“Online games will now be banned from giving players rewards if they log in every day, if they spend on the game for the first time or if they spend several times on the game consecutively. All are common incentive mechanisms in online games.”

    Banning login bonus is such a good idea. When I am busy I simply don’t have time or remember to login once per day and then I miss out on some items.

      I’m alright with the games that give you daily rewards but they don’t have to be consecutive days. It still benefits people who log in everyday, but you at least aren’t entirely missing out

      I kind of like the way Rocket League did it before they switched to F2P where you got bonus XP per win as a login bonus each day but that would stack up to 7 times so when logging in once a week to farm your wins that would grant you as much bonus as someone logging in daily.

      Now it’s just the same shitty “daily login or you’re out of luck”-bs

      or they get around it by not making it a “login” bonus but “do this really quick and easy daily quest” bonus.
