Yeah, fomo needs to go, it's a really nasty tactic, and anyone who needs it to exist so they can feel special for purchasing things at a specific arbitrary time needs to find a better hobby cause yikes.

Like, imagine a game that would flash spider jumpscares at you with a paid option to turn them off. People w/o anxiety wouldn't understand what the big deal is, but those with arachnophobia can see clearly that their anxiety disorder that they have no control over is being exploited. Fomo is exactly that, and companies know what they're doing.
