Hi there, i’m new here and the last weeks forced me to register. Because i have had a deja vu, i want to tell you all a short story:
A few years ago i downloaded a recommended app, it was a tiny little construction game. Not really like the ones you find today, but it was ok for me and lots of other gamers.
While also playing the same game, a good friend of mine found a community like this one here and enjoyed to log in there, found good friends allover the us, canada and europe which leads at the end in mutual personal visits.
Now to the game: daily log in gave some benefits, regular updates brought new content and for exclusive new items the players were willing to pay small amounts.
But then came some updates and with them bugs, which the community reported to the developers. Suddenly a employee of the developer company rushed in the community blog and promised, that all reported bugs would be given to the programming team and should be fixed by them. He (later it was also a female employee) asked for reporting every bug, that we gamers could find and again everything worked after updating well.
But because real life isn’t a game, the developing company was overtaken by a big asian company and everything changes. No daily benefits anymore, exclusive items became more expensive, updates became a rarity and at least no response anymore from the developers. Not to tell you, that the game went down and in the end the app was closed and taken from the app store.
Can you imagine, why i had my deja vu?

Just a note at the end: i have nothing against making profit, but is has to be a good balance…..and only a satisfied customer is a loyal customer. If ab2 is going to be wrecked like it looks like now, i will say goodbye early enough to all rovio games.
Finally i have to say, that visiting this community here was always a pleasure for me and often enough i find here the solution for any level in any rovio game i played and was acting like a zombie when i despaired in a level.
I apologise my bad english, i left the school in germany more than 40 years ago, but i hope you understand my intention for my post.
