It's just a Skinner box. It's specifically designed to keep you hitting a button for a treat, with no greater purpose. Nothing you do in this game will have any positive effect on your real life. If you suffer from any addiction or self-control issues, it will likely have a negative impact. You'll spend more time playing p99 and less time with your significant other or family.

Everything in this game is ephemeral. It can and likely will eventually be taken away forever by a simple business decision. If you pursue another hobby, you'll likely have something to show for it. If you pursue RC cars or airplanes, you'll learn valuable lessons about electronics, mechanics and repair skills. You'll also have physical objects that you can pass on or sell if you bore of them. If you pursue woodworking, you'll learn about engineering, design and aesthetics. Again, you'll end up with tools and creations that you can share, sell or pass on. If you pursue hiking, your health will improve and you'll likely meet real people who can enrich your personal and even professional life.

Nothing in P99 will ever leave. Nothing is gained. The skills do not transfer to real life. There is nothing to share or pass on to loved ones. It is only wasted time.
