@ABGOFast. Thanks for the follow up. I wanted to make sure you weren’t holding out info on some secret gem treasure trove. :)

As Lance Armstrong learned in the Alps around 20 years ago, if you are surrounded by very good riders who are taking PEDs or PEGs, you cannot compete without doing the same. Your investment seems like a wise one – 1200 gems is 16-24 DAYS of gem farming. A devastating blow to other riders unless they want to drop $100 U.S. for 6500 gems to make the end around.

Don’t know if anyone has seen Rovio’s earnings releases, but they have admitted that they haven’t been very good at playing the IAP game. Clash of Clans and now the Kim Kardashian game, of all things, are destroying them in the market. (I think it was Jimmy Kimmel who said: if you are sitting on your couch doing nothing, aren’t you already playing the Kim K game? But I digress.)

Rovio first admitted their earnings were poor in April, which I think was around the time they started trying to be more aggressive/cheap with gem distribution (1 gem vs. 3 for completing challenges). To me, it is not worth investing in the game because the last few upgrades have been poor:

*Weekly tournament awards prizes randomly vs. on merit – lame
*Multiplayer is a joke – Seedway and Rocky road are way too easy, the other levels have racers with power ups, the system crashes as I cross the finish line
*Sub zero has been a disappointment from the error-ridden challenges (splat fruit! Use boost pads!) to the un-imaginative challenges (use King Sling 7 times and all Power Ups 3 times!) to the ridiculous track 3 featuring opponents who re-spawn 25% of the way forward on the track.
