    It’s highly likely they fudge those numbers or outright lie.

      Reason for saying that?

      BTW: not the company reporting those numbers. Google Play’s numbers.

        Because every single thing about those games is a psychological ploy to get people to spend as much money as physically possible. They run studies on what tweaks get people to spend more or less and I guarantee the numbers they show in the store have been studied.

        Also, who’s going to call them out on that? What court wouldn’t throw that out immediately? And even if you did win, the company wouldn’t even notice. You probably signed away the right to be part of a class action lawsuit in the Terms of Service anyway.
