Wow, this is a sad situation that Carl has been permitted to play for months. I just re-read @bankler response on the previous page and what is interesting is that the game was updated this past week with the new daily challenges and Carl is still being permitted to play.
It really puts the end users in “their place” of low importance when Rovio permits a hacker to violate their game for months and does nothing about it.
I do not mind spending money for extra items in Rovio’s games but it is a real physical “slap in the face” to the end users to let a known cheater play the game for months and do nothing to stop this particular individual, and then provide updates that just about require a lot of the end users to spend money to complete like the last update of the Daily Challenge.
Last week, on Facebook trending, it was published in about 3 news sources that Rovio lost 15 million dollars last year, has had dramatic decreasing revenues for the past three years and laid off a lot of their workforce last year. It was also stated that Rovio’s survival depends on the success of their upcoming movie.
As a result, it appears that quality control and its personnel have taken a back seat which directly effects the end users who are in total control as to how much money they want to spend on items in Rovio’s games. It is funny how that works when the end users feel they are cheated by a known hack for months, they leave the game and/or do not spend any more money on them…does anyone wonder why revenues have been decreasing for the past three years. The honest players are the only ones who will spend money to play the game.
I guess the folks who were fortunate to keep their jobs do not have the time to get the hacks who have been around for months because their time has been spent on the new Daily Challenge update or the previous updates in the last couple of months, a depressing situation for the employees and the end users who enjoy these games.
Now to be fair, a good number of the hacks have been neutralized in the past two months and I greatly appreciate the time, money and personnel for doing this service to keep the integrity of the game honest.
We can only hope that Carl gets his “just” reward, hopefully soon.
