[QUOTE="zmcvay, post: 289366, member: 4746"] Sadly the game plan is the same as all the other mobile games that have the same Freemium model. By introducing a grind to unlock a free game, the plan is that they will get more money from the few people who will buy up their premium currency to skip the grind than they would from people who will pay a more reasonable $10 outright for the whole game. Apparently it works, though I really don't understand why. Mobile is a secondary platform for me, but I won't touch it without a simple purchase option at a reasonable price. I mean, come on, if the best defense I see here is comparing it to a casino of all things, there's a real problem with the model. [/QUOTE]
