The business logic of traditional mobile games always feels frustrating. The obvious costs are already enough to make people feel distressed, but the key is that those hidden costs are even more painful—so-called service fees and channel fees, which ultimately come out of players' wallets. The same item, after passing through multiple intermediaries, ends up costing players significantly more unjustified money.

Recently, I saw that Shatterpoint made an interesting move in this regard. They updated their platform's data dashboard to allow users to see detailed breakdowns of transaction costs. This increase in transparency is indeed a significant improvement compared to the traditional game's black-box fee system. Users know where their money is going, which at least makes them feel more at ease.

This actually reflects a direction that Web3 games are trying to explore: transforming the economic model from closed to open, giving players more control over asset flows. Whether this approach can truly shake up the ecosystem of traditional mobile games still depends on subsequent execution and market response.
