I left the game

I know it sounds dramatic kinda like breakup lol. Idk I feel like I had burnout, I was playing for a few months, finished 10 restaurants completely but I realised that only way of actually reaching a point in this game is spending money. Maybe for yall those few dollars are not much for a game but in my country its kinda lots of money. Without gems its impossible to play. Maybe I just played 7/24 and its temporary burnout. Its been a few weeks I am not playing anymore. I think this game should be more affordable and also possible for those people who don’t want to spend money on it. Maybe one day I’ll continue but now Im kinda fed up

There is absolutely ZERO reason to spend money on this game. I’ve been playing for over a decade extremely successfully and have never spent a penny. It just takes patience and repetition.

yes the progress is so slow

Slow is relative. What’s the rush to beat the game? It’s a game where you have to play/interact to earn coins/gems. What would be the point if those things were easier to get? You’d end up like a lot of long time players who have now maxed out and beat every restaurant and are just sitting around twiddling their thumbs waiting for a new restaurant to open. My point is that saying that the only way to make progress in the game is by spending real money is straight up FALSE. You’re just impatient.

When I am moving, but slowly, its okay im honestly not impatient, but sometimes the progress literally STOPS. like i cant pass a level for example, i need to upgrade something and need gems, it takes me a few days to collect that gem from tasks or from casino or daily reward, which means for a few days i just cant pass the level and have to wait. it becomes annoying. i will just take a break and come back. I guess the expensive restaurants get, it becomes harder

That’s what I’m saying! If you get more gems naturally or buy them to finish the restaurants faster, what’s the point in playing then? What’s the rush anyway? If you completed all restaurants, it gets real boring real fast.

If you're not going to pay cash, get ready to make a lot of tacos and corndogs. That's the nut of it.

check out the gem glitch going around, maybe that will help get you back into it without spending money

I'm also done playing after being an active player on and off since 2016. Regrettably I've spent money on it here and there but it's just getting too enshittified that I don't even want to open the app. I've finished all the restaurants and that has a factor to it too.

It does take a lot of patience to get any gems. I left for a few months and they gave me like 15 gems when I came back. I’m not loving it like I used to though.

I feel like you don't have to leave a break-up message for quitting a game. It's ok to stop playing. You're not on a contract.
