Well, that’s the downside of making things more fair for everybody. Now everybody has a chance to actually be competitive. Yeah, it sucks that we’ll always be falling behind the players who have no life and play 24/7, but isn’t that how a lot of online games work? You spend more time playing the game, you get more rewards. Any game developer’s gonna want that.

It was probably more fair in the old days when you could log one high score per day and the highest one won the Arena, so your performance wasn’t proportional to the number of matches you played. But of course that doesn’t get us to play nearly as many matches, meaning fewer ad views and less temptation to buy stuff. I’m not thrilled about it but I can at least understand their reasoning, versus other decisions Rovio has made that just result in us wanting to play the game less.
