I’ve been waiting in the Waiting Room in character.ai for so damn long. I swear the servers run on expired Wublin statues.

Waiting Simulator

"Waiting Simulator" is a term used to describe games, particularly mobile games, that utilize a mechanic of artificially delaying player progress through time-based activities, such as the hatching of an egg, the completion of a building upgrade, or the acquisition of in-game resources. This mechanic is often used to encourage players to spend real money on in-game currency or items in order to speed up the process and avoid the wait.

The term "Waiting Simulator" is used derisively, as it implies that the game is more about waiting than actually playing, and that the player's enjoyment is hindered by the constant delays. It is often used to critique the design choices of mobile games, as this mechanic can be seen as a way to increase revenue through microtransactions rather than improving the gameplay experience.

In summary, "Waiting Simulator" is a pejorative term used to describe games that prioritize time-based activities and delay player progress as a means of monetization, ultimately hindering the player's enjoyment of the game.

"I tried playing that new mobile game, but it turned out to be a total waiting simulator. I spent more time waiting for my buildings to upgrade than actually playing the game."

"The game was enjoyable at first, but once I hit the paywall, it turned into a waiting simulator. I had to wait for days to get enough resources to advance, or pay real money to speed up the process."
"I don't like games that use the waiting simulator mechanic. It feels like a cheap way to make money and takes away from the overall gaming experience."
