@rjallenxxx’s post deserves a “like” button.
To elaborate, there is almost no reason for any player to continue on this game. The entire activity is nothing but a hamster wheel to generate revenue for Rovio, disguised with colorful animation and repetitive gameplay. The rules are changing daily and often ‘tweaks’ are made without notifying players via an app update or bulletin, which causes mistrust towards Rovio. Next step is to keep an eye on your CC activity because you never know when innocuous little charges may start appearing as a result of you “agreeing” to certain in-app purchases. I suspect this app will go the way of several other freemium games, where it will no longer be voluntary to watch paid ads… they will pop up and play regardless of if we allow them to (I have already seen a few games move in this direction when they aren’t already getting enough user permission to generate revenue from watching them).
It’s really too bad because this game started off being wildly fun and one of the best in the series… but I guess in this business, money trumps all.
