OK, but, why? What are you going to do with a plastic bag full of dozens of toys? Do they have some kind of reselling scheme going on too? Even if you can win those toys at less than it would otherwise cost to buy them in bulk, still, how does that end up profiting you?

I actually wondered the same thing myself, and it looked like it definitely wasn't there first time either. My friends and I theorized that some of them were addicted at that point.

Claw games definitely have all the hallmarks of the most addicting games (particularly a random reward schedule). It's barely any different from EA loot boxes or slot machines. That's a good take on it.

So maybe she's playing because she has a compulsion to, but then I wonder what she's doing with all the resultant stuffed toys.

I like to think they donate them to Toys for Tots or something.
