Hi, thanks for comment on the avatar :)
I do play ABfriends but tend to play a level, then watch videos for free! items, play until the video option has expired then come back the next day. Must only spend 15 mins a day on that game.
Regarding Rovio being obscure, you are correct. I think they over extended themselves as a games company. They’ve got a great game and concept in AB but have added too many games and offshoots to their portfolio. Things didn’t work out as they planned in cornering a larger share of the game market, and this led to a large number of staff losing their jobs. We are seeing the fallout in bugs, glitches, cheats and hackers having a free reign, poorly implemented ideas, poor programming, difficulty in getting support, etc, etc.
Moral must be fairly low at Rovio as I believe more job cuts were announced last year but have not been carried out, yet. I maybe wrong with the last sentence but think it’s correct.
To survive, they probably need to drop some of their games and refocus on what made Rovio great. Easier said than done, but they need to stop the seemingly continuing loss of players.
I don’t mind spending a few pounds here and there to play AB2, but I fall well short of what Rovio seem to expect me to pay. And the more they push me to spend, the further I step away from their games.
