Well, they are not really “keeping” anything in my view. I don’t recall having to wait to get lives back or pay to play the basic birds again in a number of the games I play. They are certainly not going to keep customers at the rates they are charging. They have totally lost me on Angry birds 2 and I am on the verge of quitting Angry Birds Friends after over a 30 percent decrease in what you get for the price you used to pay. (24000 instead of 33000 power up at most expensive. and then more expensive to use coins to get the power up itself.) It is ridiculous and a complete turn off. If they want the honest customers to stay they need to rethink their marketing strategy! Those kinds of increases are not justified by any standard!

I think this is a terrible system. I have deleted AB2 from my devices. The levels are difficult to complete without buying extra birds, and unless you want to put your life on standby as you wait for more hearts, your are spending a fortune. I checked my accounting on how fast I was spending money and went HOLY CREDIT CARD. This is ridiculous and I pity any parent who is financing a kid on this. The “free” is really misleading by a mile!.
Rovio, get back to basics and let people buy the game if they want, or make reasonably achievable without spending a fortune. I will NOT recommend anyone I know get started on this!
