AdVenture Capitalist produces an all-consuming obsession. It is intended to be played in the background while you get on with the rest of your day. Checking in occasionally on your phone or computer to see how many trillions you’ve accumulated while you were away. And then reinvesting them in 40 new shrimp boats or seven new oil rigs in an effort to start earning quadrillions or even novemvigintillions.
And how could I do that? You're probably wondering. Well, very easy. You might start earning quadrillions as easy as earning Hive through giving blind automated upvotes and earning curation rewards from content you haven't even consumed.
Or even same as easy as delegating your HP to some poor slaves who want to brag and act as influencers and then let they be the ones in charge to provide you with those quadrillions without you even having to move a finger or keep an eye on the game at all.
"Automated upvotes, downvotes and whatnot"
"Delegating HP and earning curation rewards"
Yeah! it is that easy!
"With no need of blogging, engaging nor social interaction"
¿What are you waiting for?
AdVenture Capitalist is played by staring at small meters, which fill up beneath 10 businesses on a sort of automated spreadsheet. Starting with a single lemonade stand, you press a lemon button which starts a profit meter moving and eventually delivers $1 to your savings.
Press the button again and another dollar arrives a few seconds later. Another button press. Another dollar. After earning enough money, a second button is activated which allows you to buy another lemonade stand. Which may drain your savings but making it so that you get $2 for every press of the lemonade button instead of $1. Buy an even more expensive third lemonade stand and you can earn $3 per push. And so on and so forth. Easy, as easy as blindly peeling tangerines in Hive.
As a system of addiction and obsession, AdVenture Capitalist works as advertised. Since game economies depend on fabricating scarcity to become compulsively playable. Games make money by occupying time, your time, grabbing eyeballs and holding on to them. Video games take hostages by deepening the habits of consumption.
And this game unlike Hive. By forcing you to consume and be aware of what you consume. For that reason alone, is why at the moment I find it more fun, rewarding and profitable than Hive.
