@killerkea. Mate, I totally understand where you’re coming from, honestly. I suppose, from my perspective, I’d feel a little disingenuous griping about the bug patch at this point… I mean, I exploited it (the bug) for a couple of weeks, got four epic weapons sets out of it, and had a general blast… all while avoiding any real-world spend. Yeah, you’re right, I’m really struggling with Cave-10 but, hey, after such a smooth run it’s kind of nice to be challenged. :-) On a side note, I don’t think you should over estimate the number of people exploiting the bug… I don’t think that nesters are an appropriately representative sample of the (AB gaming) population! I’d imagine that Rovio’s bean-counters speedily calculated incremental revenue lost against the immediate cost of patching the bug ASAP… and determined that it could wait for a time. Further, I’d imagine that the vast majority of their revenue comes from casual gamers impulse buying (i.e. via the multiplication of very small transactions). I know 10 under 10s currently obsessed with the game… and they pester their mother(s) to allow them to make small, (and to me/us) irrational + wasteful purchases every other day! THEY, I’d imagine, are Rovio’s cash-cows… not disgruntled nesters! In any case, cool post, stimulating, cheers!
