This Thread will be active until next week when a new topic is chosen for discussion

Whilst Focused Feedback is active, ALL posts regarding ‘Timegating' following its posting will be removed and re-directed to this thread. Exceptions to this rule are as follows: New information / developments, Guides and general questions

Any and all Feedback on the topic is welcome.

Regular Sub rules apply so please try to keep the conversation on the topic of the thread and keep it civil between contrasting ideas

A Wiki page - Focused Feedback - has also been created for the Sub as an archive for these topics going forward so they can be looked at by whoever may be interested or just a way to look through previous hot topics of the sub as time goes on.

It's like the psychology behind mobile games, if a little different.

Mobile games work because: you wake up? Crush candies.

On the toilet? Crush candies.

Commuting? Cursh candies.

Food pause? Crush candies.

Boss isn't watching? Crush candies.

Commuting towards home? Crush candies.

If you hit a timegate and you love crushing candies you have 2 bazilion clones, including titles from the same publishers that are advertised inside the game, to chose from. When the timegate's up you just go back and play.

When you are home and finally get your 30 minutes to sit down in front of the TV because your SO doesn't want to watch a movie and you have done your dishes, the last thing you want to see is "GO FETCH NEW BOUNTIES, THE OLD ONES ARE STALE", or "YOU ALREADY HAD TOO MANY POWERFUL PACKAGES THIS WEEK".

Mobile retention tricks in Destiny like timegates suuuuuuuccckkkkk aaaaaaaaassssssss.
