I'm still wondering what's wrong with Africa.
You may ask the president of that country if you can't find some time searching it with your friend Google.


Sometimes, I think it's just a political game.

Yes it is. Those politicians keep feeding their own mouths while their countrymen get starved to death.

The leaders might be thinking what will they gain if they help.

Nothing really,.. as they are contented that their country are famous by its rare animals and not by humans. Politicians are really the ones whose at fault not the country ( Well every country has the same problem)

These game developers are scary sometimes. They will study how to stimulate our brain making us forget our worldly problems.

This is what they do to survive. If they're just going to create a game and all of the items are for free they will also and surely starved to death like those african-natives.

I'm still wondering what's wrong with Africa. Been hearing about it since I was a kid.

During the New Year's celebration, I asked some of my relatives if they have spent some money on mobile/online games, majority of them did. And they have a problem with their kids too. One of my nephew have spent 100% of his allowance only in games. The game he downloaded is free, but it requires money if he wants something to show off.

I understand what you are feeling right now, actually even me think that it was very insane to spend lots of money just for a game. We all might realize that it's very impractical for investing so much in virtual stuffs which gives you nothing but fun. However, we don't have the right to judge those kind of people and even force them to do what we think is right simply because that's their own life. We don't have the power to control their lives because we are absolutely unauthorized. If they choose to spend their money for games, vices or other luxuries instead of helping others then so be it; if they choose to become self-centered instead of becoming tender-hearted individuals to their fellow man then we can't do anything about it. Yup! We can advice them to change their personality but in the end of the day it still depends on them.

Life is unfair, it was sad but true Sad.

 2M$ to somebody can be as 20$ to somebody else.

you spend 10$ on a beer while a dozen of poor kids starving in Africa "who need only 25 cents to be fed for a whole day " are dying from hunger.

5000$ is enough to build wells that can supply a small villages in Africa of 200-300 people with clean water for the trust rest of their lives, while you spend it on a few gifts for your girlfriend/wife.

Starving kids in Afirica look at us the way we look at those "whales" who spend a fortune on games.

we are all playing the same GAME.

Game developers will often talk about compulsion loops.

How do I keep the player playing?

How do I keep them from coming back?

How do I keep them paying?

Stephen Barnes, the man who spent $2M on a mobile game. Source
A Japanese guy who spent $70k on a mobile game. Source
Big Jim: the “Whale” who spent over $30K on We Heroes. Source

You think it's a free-to-play game? Think again.
Ooh, they're* also talking about "whale".

Damn this digital era for giving birth to these so called "digital whales".
