Games: Online therapy platforms
Work a stint on one of the real online therapy platforms below, then replay on another and compare what you kept. Or test your sense of who takes the bigger cut.
Each platform plays with its own published fees and payout rules; anything missing uses the typical value for online therapy platforms and is labelled.
