         | The transactions are spread over time, so each one is a bit
         | less "impactful" at their wallet. Also, nobody is sure about
         | the exact amount.

         | Another reason is that mobile games are considered childish. So
         | admitting to spending money on them has the danger of people
         | considering them childish. At least in their minds.
