I was playing "Two Dots", if some of you are familiar with the game. But my following lesson can also be learned from Candy Crush.
Success is like Candy Crush - At first it seems easy. Afterwards you notice you have to put hard effort to it. And finally, you notice it's rigged. Eventually comes a point where you have to use your resources (powerful real-money in-game items) to get to the top, but it will only get much more rigged from there (I personally never got to see that top). |

I never buy games that have in app purchases, because of course they are rigged to get you to spend money. Game makers don't develop them out of the kindness of their heart.
 I am curios as to what you learned...? Are you implying that life in general is rigged?

That's exactly my point. The success ladder is complicated to climb as you get higher, but not because you have no potential, but because other people block your way, whether it be competitors or high-scorers.
The bright side for all this though is, it's not personal, and you're likely to not be alone in this |

Well I don't agree that life is rigged the same way as a pay to play game is. There is competition in life, but there isn't some omnipotent game master manipulating the game to make sure you lose.

My thought comes from sources such as this:

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
