Wow. Glad that’s over. That was the total opposite of fun for my family.

I managed to unlock Epic Prime and his two accessories after sacrificing a huge chunk of my life for 8 straight days. If this continues to be the way the game is played, I can’t follow.

I also helped my young daughter unlock Epic Prime on her iPad, just by the skin of her teeth today. She is the main ABT fan in the house, and this competition was more than she could handle. There were multiple occasions of tears and frustration at having to play the game when she didn’t want to, just to have a shot at this character. In the end, it just became a chore and she is pretty well sick of the game at the moment.

Over the past few months, my family has spent a fair amount of cash on this game (between gems and characters). I really don’t mind to drop some money here and there to support a game we enjoy, but this really felt over the top. From my experience, it required a huge commitment of both time and gems (money) to be successful. Demanding both (within a fixed 8-day period) was just too much. Moreover, failure to play for a day or two pretty much made all the other time and money invested worthless. It felt like being handcuffed to the game.

I’m glad to call this done. I’m hopeful that future events of this nature will be less demanding. Otherwise, my family will have to check out.
