I once again cannot stress how much the creation of investment systems and microtransactions is the exact opposite of making your game fun.

For investment systems: if your game is fun you don’t need it! People will be playing your game because they enjoy it. They don’t need to be enticed or manipulated into playing more!

For microtransactions: if your game is fun nobody would buy them. Remember, you are paying to not play the game. The reason you do this is because of ge frictions put in place to make playing for these items unpleasant.

Any time you add microtransactions you can obtain by playing, or when you add an investment system, you are by definition making your game less fun!
