In-game purchases and skins: the dancing banana problem, sentence 16

Ruby's battle pass gave rewards only if she played every day (when she missed a few days she got fewer rewards, and found she did not really mind), and Noah's building game made him wait hours unless he spent gems — and when the gems ran out, it offered to sell him more for real money.

Who acts: battle pass, pass, building game, Noah, gems, money · What happens: give, play, miss, get, find, not mind · To what, where: rewards, fewer rewards, gems, more, Noah · Speech: someone speaks here
