Rovio’s stock tanked last week, dropping 50%. The company is forecasting lower revenues in advance of its earnings report. I WONDER WHY???

First, cheaters are obviously proliferating on the platform of (what I imagine is) their most lucrative game, AB2.

Second, honest paying players complain to Rovio to do something about it!  Rovio gives them lip service, but little else.  Meanwhile the cheaters are exploding in number on the platform.  Rovio completely fumbles reducing their ranks.  In fact the opposite is true.  They are multiplying like crazy.

Third, the honest paying players, discouraged by Rovio’s inaction  and frustrated by cheaters getting way ahead in the game, spend less on gems.

Rovio typically bites the hand that feeds it (paying players) and rolls of the welcome mat for the swarms of cheaters.

Is it a surprise, therefore that Rovio’s stock just dropped 50%?  If Rovio continues its inaction, giving its paying players only lip service with regard to this plague of cheaters, their revenues will probably drop further as players buy fewer gems.
