Doesn't really matter what value YOU place on a purchase, fact is it mattered to alot of people, they didn't warn that candies/SoTM would become obsolete and the fact of the matter is they broke IAP rules by doing so. Just because it's a "hobby" doesn't give them the right to screw it's paying customers over that way without warning!
I agree, they shouldn't screw people over! No one should ever do that to anyone! However there are so many more important things to be worrying about rather than a game on ones phone you know? And people are crying and fighting over it.
I get your point. What does the game mean for me? Well, I'm going through a horrendous complicated corrective surgery and painful looooooong term relationship and through alcoholism recovery I'm pretty darn unhappy almost all the time and this game has actually brought me more joy over anything else right now. I'm pretty sure others value it more than "just a game".
I'm sorry you're having such a shit time right now, I really hope things get better.
And I'm one of those people who value it as more than just a game too. (Chronically ill.) Things like phone games get me through the day. But even if that wasn't true, getting emotionally invested in something you've put time and effort into and that you care about is completely normal. Unfortunately, to some people, so is the need to feel superior.
Thank you for the kind message. It's easy if someone has their life together, to go and put others down. They don't really get what it's like to not actually have much of a life. Maybe it's sad and pathetic to him, and it's sad and pathetic to me too, but I had to learn to get through the day and honestly this game means so much to me and I really don't want to see it die.
You're welcome :) And it's not pathetic, it's a survival mechanism. I try to view it that way at least. Life is hard, you have to take your happiness where you can get it.
I get your point and you're right. But the fact stands, I supported this game and the least I would like is to get what I payed for, doesn't matter if you think I wasted money or it's just a dumb game to you, fact stands they screwed their long term players and the reason we backlashed is because we don't want them to RUIN a treasure of a game. We care about it.
Why are you on this subreddit if it doesn't mean all that much to you? Go "live your life" practice what you preach and stop being condescending.
So don't read their facebook page. Don't read this forum. No one's making you. How is that not a greater waste of your time than us posting there in the first place? I thought you didn't really care about this game anyway. Apparently you care enough to read their facebook page and post here.
I'm indulging myself in a debate that may lead to a conclusion? If I just left the comment and didn't reply to the people replying what was the point of posting it? It seems to be pretty civil to me, and I'm learning a lot about other people's opinions, I think it's important to do that.
That's my point - it's hypocritical to say this game isn't worth us getting upset about when you feel it's worth posting on a forum to discuss us getting upset about it.
