"Waiting Simulator" is a term used to describe games, particularly mobile games, that utilize a mechanic of artificially delaying player progress through time-based activities, such as the hatching of an egg, the completion of a building upgrade, or the acquisition of in-game resources. This mechanic is often used to encourage players to spend real money on in-game currency or items in order to speed up the process and avoid the wait.
The term "Waiting Simulator" is used derisively, as it implies that the game is more about waiting than actually playing, and that the player's enjoyment is hindered by the constant delays. It is often used to critique the design choices of mobile games, as this mechanic can be seen as a way to increase revenue through microtransactions rather than improving the gameplay experience.
In summary, "Waiting Simulator" is a pejorative term used to describe games that prioritize time-based activities and delay player progress as a means of monetization, ultimately hindering the player's enjoyment of the game.
"I tried playing that new mobile game, but it turned out to be a total waiting simulator. I spent more time waiting for my buildings to upgrade than actually playing the game."
"The game was enjoyable at first, but once I hit the paywall, it turned into a waiting simulator. I had to wait for days to get enough resources to advance, or pay real money to speed up the process."
"I don't like games that use the waiting simulator mechanic. It feels like a cheap way to make money and takes away from the overall gaming experience."

A simulator in Roblox where you have to throw Paper Balls or Paper Products to gain money (what's up with that?). When you throw a paper ball, it goes into your backpack (again, what's up with that?), and you can sell it for money (what's up with that!? Is the buyer of these paper balls in your backpack a murderer which wants you to weaken the victims to kill them, like Moriarty who sponsored the cabby in A Study in Pink (Sherlock Holmes), but the cabby was actually killing the victims, not Moriarty.) You can buy bigger backpacks from the "Buy" section. You can also buy new Paper Aproducts to "weaken"the walls (you can buy a new area once you reach enough money). There are also codes, but I won't talk about them.
ROBLOX Paper Ball Simulator: New update! 1. New boss! You can throw paper balls at it to kill it!
Me: Yet again, I don't want to kill anyone.
A game that is a remake of De Pride Isle Sanatorium but you get to play as a nurse without applying (hence the name abuse). The game was established in February 2021 but taken down in July of that year due to mass reports and group being locked. It was reopened in October of 2021 under a new group and better staffing due to some bad people getting high ranks.
Hey, want to play De Pride Isle Abuse Simulator (DPIAS)?
Sure! I heard xXCyanide_Xx is really hawt
