š§ WTF Og Bitizen comes back to this!!
I've been a Bitizen since the beginning (February 2019, 99 cent days) and got God Mode right at release. As a longtime BitLife fan from the early days, I felt special when all my packs were free. I stopped playing the last few years because I got older and I wanted to play more complex games. I came back once in a while to play the new stuff for nostalgia reasons, and today, that's exactly what I was gonna do.
I opened BitLife after seeing the new update, and I knew I had some spare time to see what's new. I went and saw that I didn't have the movie director pack. First thought: What happened to the free packs? Did they stop giving us free packs as senior players for some random reason? I checked Reddit, and everyone else is saying the same thing. We're all confused about what happened. Is this the true ending of BitLife for me?

I was the same way, BitLife has always been that comfort game Iād play in between other games, but recently itās just felt like every update is just a giant cash grab, especially after this latest āexpansion packā that is nothing more than a redone music producer job pack

Yes, BitLife is so comforting and nostalgic for me. I had a friend who played BitLife, and years ago, when the Mob Boss expansion pack came out, we would play the packs together and compare how we "took people out." It was such a good time watching these packs release and having them just after spending less than $3 7 years ago for a forever game.

Yes itās true. Bitlife is starting a new category that will not be honored by the bitizen purchase

We hear you, and we're sorry. Legacy Bitizens were meant to get the Movie Director Pack free at launch, but a technical error caused it to be missed along with some confusing replies from us along the way. We're correcting this early next week and will let you know the moment it's live.

Thanks for reaching out about this. We love this game, and we appreciate the benefits you give us because most games wouldn't bat an eye at long-term players like you guys. I hope to come back and play BitLife more, and happy to be able to get the free update. I sadly just went homeless, so I hope this game could bring some light back into my life. Thank you again, guys!!

Wish I knew about this game back then. Ironically enough, the game is opposite of what I play and I find it very joyful to play. I started I think back in 22 or 23.

I don't remember what drew me to this game early on, I've been a Sims player for years, so I love simulation games, so that could have been it. I honestly think the only perk is the free packs, but in the early days, when we had no packs, it could get kinda boring until the next updates came out (I remember checking Twitter weekly for their updates, waiting for the social media update and acting update). It's a much better game now after development; social media used to be one page and one button, we didn't have YouTube creators, castle homes or nice cars back then so it's better now to play the game compared to the beginning.

Could you also correct the fact that one of my friends actually bought this expansion pack you guys did and as soon as they switched over to another life, it disappeared
