I would simply thank Newgrounds for keeping it ubiquitous with scams such as Mochi and delete my review on one of their most obvious and quite stupid attempt at making money: Shopping Cart Hero 2
I'll keep it here and god know how much time this post will be left up before the Newgorund Gestapo comes and obliterate it, but frankly, Mochi is nothing more than a scam.
You play a free flash game, enjoy it for the next fifteen minute of your life then move on. That's what usually a flash game is. When your proficient, you can be recognized for your talent by company or even BETTER, make your own site and host your stuff.
Do not expect to make money out of what's posted on Newgrounds, do not expect to make a liveable income out of making a 15 minute time waster, we're talking about something that might have taken you 2 months time, but really, is it worth paying for? No.
But Shopping Cart Hero 2 is the understatement of everything to make a game non-marketable and simply take away money. Shopping Cart Hero 2 is actually the very first game with a slight boost in graphics and complete fuck up over the gameplay mecanics to make it un-fucking-playable, overly steep priced upgrades and get this... magical micro-transaction to make your 15 minute of time wasting a complete giveaway to Mochi.
This model is crooked and most people will simply fuck this. But there's always one gullible fool ready to spend some money on this to get the items that would have taken him ages to get. At first it's alright... But then you remember you already played the first version where it was basicly the same crap for free. Now the outrage can begin.
I ask this to all the game devs in Newgrounds to simply stop using Mochi as a solution to make money, use the banners Newgrounds has the class to give along their pre-loaders or at least put something worth spending money to play... But good fucking lord, not the same crappy re-hash of a game that was good... and free.
