📍 SCENE: The crew chilling, scrolling through their phones.
🟩 GU: Damn, I’m bored as hell, y’all got any good mobile games?
🟨 OV: Nigga, ain’t no such thing.
🟥 MG: Fr, mobile games either got ads every 5 seconds, or they tryna rob you blind.
🟩 GU: Nah, y’all tweaking. I remember mobile games used to be fire.
🟨 OV: Yeah, in 2012, nigga. Now they all pay-to-win bullshit.
🟥 MG: Nigga, remember when games used to cost 99 cents ONCE? Now them niggas want your entire paycheck.
🟩 GU: Ayo, hold up, let me download this one. It says ‘FREE TO PLAY.’
🟥 MG: Yeah, and cocaine dealers say ‘first hit free’ too.
🟨 OV: Nigga, click on it and see how long that ‘free’ lasts.
GU downloads the game and opens it, it's called Hero Battle: Legends of Clans Royale Saga something.
🎮 Game: WELCOME, NEW PLAYER! CLAIM YOUR FREE STARTER PACK!
🟩 GU: Aight, see? They giving me free stuff.
🟥 MG: Nigga, that’s how they get you.
🟨 OV: Yeah, watch that ‘free’ pack be some useless shit.
🟩 GU: Lemme see… 1 gold coin and a wooden sword?
🟥 MG: Nigga, that’s tutorial-tier garbage.
🟨 OV: Try playing the game, watch how quick you get stuck.
GU starts playing. After 5 minutes...
🎮 Game: YOU HAVE RUN OUT OF ENERGY! WAIT 4 HOURS OR BUY MORE NOW!
🟩 GU: NIGGA, WHAT?!
🟥 MG: I told you! They time-lock everything.
🟨 OV: Fr, why mobile games built like a parole system?
🟩 GU: Man, fuck that. I’ll just grind without paying.
🎮 Game: WARNING! THE NEXT LEVEL REQUIRES A ‘LEGENDARY’ CHARACTER!
🟩 GU: Aight, bet. Where do I get one?

🟩 GU: Nigga, I only got wooden swords!
🟥 MG: Yeah, now check how much a ‘Premium Chest’ costs.

🟨 OV: NIGGA, WHAT?!
🟩 GU: Bro, that’s a whole-ass meal!
🟥 MG: Fr, nigga, for that price, I better get a REAL sword.
🟨 OV: Man, at this point, just delete that shit.
🟩 GU: Nah, hold up. I’mma grind.
GU plays for 4 hours straight.
🎮 Game: CONGRATS! YOU’VE EARNED… 10 GOLD!
🟩 GU: Nigga, I need 5,000 to buy ONE chest.
🟥 MG: Nigga, that’s slave labor.
