I play a lot of games. A LOT. Many times, some of these games require me to log in and collect a daily reward, Normally this is fine, but with the amount of titles offering these incentives, I find myself logging in and then logging out just to do the same for another game incase I miss their login reward as well.
Sound exhausting? That's because it is.
Most of the time I can manage it (especially if it's 10 or so days out of the month) but if I want to get the end prize for consecutive days, I'm pressured. Couldn't sign on because you had the doctor's appointment after work? Back to day one. Wasn't able to make it because you have other priorities that take ahold of you during the day? Back to day one. It's nerve-wracking.
I get that companies want you to come back to their game. I get that it's a good way for customers/players to be rewarded for loyalty. That all makes sense. It's when it becomes any game I touch NEEDS me to log in every single day that it sort of becomes overbearing. And we all suffer a bit from FOMO to begin with, right?
Doing this for events and such is fine. A holiday prize event is absolutely okay in my eyes. Even consecutive log ins on your own free will is okay. I do think that hiding massive (or even some times mediocre) incentives at the end of a 30 day log in is sort of aggravating.
I talk about it often but I am a husband, a father of two and I work full time. It will often slip my mind for days at a time to turn a console or mobile game on. The irony is incredible. I should get a bonus for consecutive days logged out.
I am sure there are not too many fresh options floating around out there but I do believe the system can be revamped. Play the game 7 days in a row to get a sticker or 28 days out of 30 to get a shinier sticker. It doesn't seem like much but dang it, I want that sticker and I can't have it most of the time.
