Match-3 is simple and keeps getting taken up by overly-monetized shovelware. I don’t have a problem with the concept of a match-3 game itself, though. Could you explain how people are being exploited (besides the usual ”you’re out of retries, wait OR SPEND REAL MONEY” thing and making super hard levels that you can’t pass without a continue or power-ups that cost a hard-to-get premium currency that you can only get in decent quantities by SPENDING REAL MONEY) and what the exploitation has to do with exponential change? I’m not sure what you’re talking about.
Advancing a game means merging and creating new items. You start with merging two items. Then two of those items can be into another one. Then that can be merged into another , and so on. It’s an exponential system

That was the only thing I could think of for “exponential” and I’m not sure how this is exploitative.
