I don't get it.They didn't give you more free stuff,in a free to play game,that you can advance in nicely without buying any extras,and where exactly is the problem?
"Somehow, like other games, the players who have played the longest are given the option to either pay their hard earned cash to continue playing or quit."
I have been playing for 2+ years,and as of yet have not received any notice that if I do not buy something,I must quit.
If you are complaining because 1/2 the facilities each update cost fc,or the upgraded tools cost fc,I have to ask..how exactly do you think a BUSINESS is supposed to stay in business?
It amazes me how many people can play a f2p game,and turn around and complain that the extras cost real money,as if this company,or any game company makes the games because they have big hearts.Please don't bring up the ad revenue either,because,no one here knows how much that actually is,and you can turn off or block the ads anyhow.
