You pay for a drip feed of exclusive content fueled by fomo. It's the same concept the fact it's got a different name doesn't change that. I've heard all I need to.

Yeah, I had never heard of Pokemon Sleep and was curious to see what it was about, but OP's summary immediately killed my interest. I avoid battle pass-like content and FOMO-focused games like plague.
