SPEND RESPONSIBLY

Time, money, and knowing when to cancel.

Paid games are built to be returned to, and subscriptions keep charging whether or not you log in.

Worth noticing

  • You log in because a subscription is running, not because you want to play.
  • You have bought a pass or expansion you did not plan to.
  • Missing a limited-time event causes real stress.
  • Play is eating into sleep, work or people.

Practical steps

  • Set a calendar reminder for every subscription renewal and cancel in a month you are not playing; characters wait.
  • Decide a session length before you start and set a timer on another device.
  • Turn off store notifications and limited-time banners where the game allows it.
  • Every publisher here offers account deletion through settings or support.
