The transition is fine although I’ve noticed the complexity of almost every UI is through the roof because of necessarily integrating the currencies and store and purchase management. But you also can’t minimize or make the stores invisible because I want to know if the game is trying to sell something at some point of sale. I guess I’m annoyed at how devious it can be. IAP are fine but keep it clear and simple, from the store to currencies and the true cost.

Some older casual gamers get overwhelmed by the steps between turning on a modern game and starting to actually play, or recognizing games that have a grind, or in-game economy, or even understanding how dlc for something like destiny works. And it’s all hidden behind marketing bs so you don’t know how the economy is setup until you start playing.
