Honestly I dont really care whether its easier or more difficult or whatever method is employed. It is still theft. That is still a fact. Saying its easy does not change the fact that it is someone (a massive group of unscrupulous people actually) putting their hand into the developers pocket and taking their wages out and leaving them nothing. Its simply wrong. Enough on it now. Saying its easy doesn't make it moral.
...Wow. Epic rant. Oh btw, RR3 is amazing. You kids need to get a grip. TA was better back in days when the App Store just came out. when Monkey Ball and Enigmo were the top games. Ah, changing of the times. Keep flaming and bashing guys, pretty soon ill rename my TouchArcade Bookmark to "YouTube Comments"
It took you 11 well written paragraphs to tell us that we talk too much for you to be heard? Maybe you should have consolidated that point a little bit and used the other 10 paragraphs to actually say what's on your mind rather than insult a bunch of people that are clearly passionate about the topics being discussed. Now that you have our attention, it would be a waste to not deliver your message... Or was that your message?
I know them feels...this thread is becoming a game of "get the most hate messages for this game whilst completely ignoring the point of everyone whos trying to make a rational argument" Those few people need to understand something: THIS GAME WAS NOT MADE TO MATCH YOUR WISHES! IT WAS MADE FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO PLAY THE GAME EVERY NOW AND THEN! The complaining spammers need to give up now. Everyone who is being guided to this thread will see your posts and they'll think that you are what people on the forums are like, and noone here wants that. So walk away please, and let everyones opinions be revealed
I swear to god I thought this thread got deleted cos my post count dropped. Now it is back up again...
I posted stuff on Pg. 33 and on Pg. 69 if the TA app isn't glitching on me. No one indicated that they had noticed the first post, and one person expressed support for my points the second time. Both got buried within seconds of posting. Both are quoted below for your curiosity.
Has anyone else ignored normal Wednesday release news because reading this thread is so entertaining? Slightly OT but if you want to read about Valve's success with F2P and TF2 this article is really fascinating: link Free games are going to continue to expand across platforms not just on iOS and social.
Jesus, what happened to this thread? Maybe we should take on some form of PWOT's rules for their moderated discussion? Maybe even just for this thread? Mostly because of all the useless, irrelevant posts in this thread. The reasoning being: Now, I'd like to know a couple things that I haven't found in the last few pages: Is there a paywall? If so, when does one hit it? Are there any game-breaking bugs encountered thus far?
Hahahahahahaa Thought these would just get deleted. But then of course the Defreds of TA would complain of "censorship"
Well I don't think this is right at all. Shows favoritism towards the developer from Toucharcade. Why would you put the negative posts here in the general forum where no one reads them and the good posts in the main thread. At least put both in the iphone gaming section. It is censorship. You can defend it Jbruu, but I think it is kind of sad. Why don't all threads get treated this way?
The split is more along the lines of "post that pertain to the game" and "posts from people who are just mad about free to play in general."
I read both of those. I actually read the detailed, second post twice while waiting for my sandwich after work tonight. I thought it was very informative. I'm not just here to spew hate at EA. I genuinely care about this franchise and I have quite a bit of fondness for this community as well. But I also hate EA. Sorry if your post went unnoticed. I should have commented on it, but I was really hungry. That, and it flies in the face of my argument, which is turning out to be much more philosophical and much less founded in reality. That doesn't take away at all from my personal view of righteousness, but I totally understand your point. I get it. I just hate that the situation we're in is a reality. This platform is capable of wonderful things, and has produced some of the most unique gaming experiences I've ever been part of. I guess I hate that we're going to lose the art. Anyway, you can't get upset that this thread is crowded. That's a reality, too. And most people, myself included, are too blinded by their disappointment to really consider anything else. That will fade in a while. Good posts, though. Sorry for clogging this place up, but its a conversation I want to be part of.
