Oh for sure. I mean, SuperCard is awful and does a lot to get you to spend money on things but it doesn't seem anywhere near as blatant in wanting you to spend like Champions does. There's always a billion things in the store some of which are priced at $99.99 or even $199.99. I looked now and there's TWO separate packages in the store that straight up let you buy a handful of lower-tier wrestlers for $199.99. It seems like your progress in the game gets straight up walled by not having enough coins or materials to upgrade wrestlers so they want you to spend spend spend. And I guess it works on whales like Dave, I'm amazed anybody falls for this shit but there's lots of dumb wrestling fans out there.
One of the things I still find amazing about this is how DSP made a big deal about how SuperCard was "ruined" because of certain events or something and quit playing the game (as far as we know), only to make a lateral over to another WWE-themed mobile game that's even scummier, and he's probably spent more money on. We have no idea how much money he spent on SuperCard, but I remember those threads on the 2K forum where he would spend as much money as possible to complete an event "first" for no reason other than bragging rights. He would win the top card from the event by spending money to get it within hours, on an event that runs for 4 days and can be done without spending. But he had to be FIRST because he wanted the prestige and the adoration of his addicted-to-a-moneysink peers, only to realize that the detractors found him posting there and he needed to abandon ship.
I just watched this video and forgot about the fact that Dave straight up admitted on that forum that he was using the "breaks" on his stream to play WWE SuperCard, an amazingly assholish thing to do to his wheelchairs wanting to watch him play games. I 100% guarantee he's doing the same thing to this day on WWE Champions instead.
