Interesting position – @jkhab69.
@dbkraemer and myself can certainly sympathize with your frustrations. I’m not sure how any reasonable person could avoid feeling somewhat scammed by Rovio’s tactics… however, to be fair, the mobile gaming market is pretty hardcore ATM and given Rovio’s shocking losses over the past couple of quarters… understandable..?
I suppose our position – if I could assume DB’s agreement with me here – is that at least Rovio provides the casual gamer with (free) access. We’re members of a thread that’s all about leeching every scrap of enjoyment out of AB Go with the lowest RW spend.
I myself have beaten the game and have completed over 1020 challenges sans any RW$ spend. Not a single cent. Plus, I’ve saved over 4000 gems – which I use to slowly knock over the more challenging challenges (armed with an abundance of patience).
I can well appreciate that not everyone’s going to find such an approach particularly entertaining! Lol. For me – and others – avoiding RW spend becomes part of the challenge and therefore part of the fun… it’s simply about adjusting your expectations/mindset going in…
In any case, thanks for a thought provoking post… we need more of them! I echo my fellow poster’s comment – whatever your frustrations or spend… I hope you managed to enjoy the game and don’t feel too much regret..? Buyer’s remorse can be a cruel mistress, yeah!? ;)
We’ve all been there!
Best of luck to you, mate!
p.s. My cost to skip a challenge is… uurrgghh… over 400 gems. Lol.
