-You can't make any progress? Don't worry, I'll give you some diamonds. Just log in today, and I'll give you a hundred diamonds. After you beat N number of levels, I'll give you another five hundred, and when you get to level thirty, I'll give…-
These players would attempt to convert the resources into actual currency.
You wanna give up? That means you're losing money every day!
At that point, a large portion of players would continue playing just because of the potential money lost.

That was completely wrong!
