Awesome information for anyone who’s doing a F2P game.
One thing it talks about is the consequence center of the brain that doesn’t finish developing until about age 25 — and this isn’t part of the article, but because of that, I think whatever happens now at 18 and 21 (things like voting, legal drinking, signing contracts, etc.) should be changed to age 25. What? I don’t think you should be able to vote until age 25? You better believe it! If the brain that handles action+consequence isn’t even fully developed at age 18, then why in the world should those people be allowed to freaking vote?!?
Anyway, the article doesn’t get on a soapbox, that’s just me, here. 😉
