Not really, in my opinion. Animal Crossing pocket. Mobile Mario Kart.

Even Animal Crossing on the switch gated its expansion behind the new, expensive subscription.

The mobile games are experiments for Nintendo to find out how their games fit in the mobile gaming world. I think they are full aware of how perverse incentives can kill all the fun in games, so for now I give them the benefit of doubt.

ps. the Animal Crossing expansion can also be bought for a fixed price.

I’m replying to this specifically, not monetization schemes in general. WoW has/had subscription too.

I'm surprised no one has made an indie AC clone for Android. AC Pocket sucks.
