@alcusto … yeah … iOS users complained about this problem when the new update came out. The week or two that we had the last of the old release, I got 5 “skip next challenges for free” over a 3 or 4 day period. Once I updated to current released, not a one …. I guess they have gone the way of the dinosaurs….extinct.
Could it have to do with Rovio’s earnings requirement for this game? My guess is they sunk a lot more than most of their other apps into the programming development, marketing and overall infrastructure supporting it. Maybe they’re still not getting the earnings on it as fast or as much as they hoped? I hope I’m wrong cause the game won’t see a lot of releases if it’s not earning them much.
I say all this with no proof but simply @pba2014 ‘s comments echoing in my ear about Rovio’s struggle with IAP earnings. This really surprises me. If they do struggle in the IAP space compared to other app providers, this is the game in their current list of apps that will suffer the most.
I thought they would be all over the right way to price all this IAP stuff given their high customer loyalty to their brand (I mean who here doesn’t have just about every app they every released?) & the uniqueness of the Hasbro-Telepods marketing play to help them make further sources of earnings.
The game has become more and more difficult to advance in the game without considerable IAPs or Telepod usage that it’s difficult to call it “a free game” even though they allow you to open all the tracks and episodes without any purchase.
