    They dont bother making full new expansions. They make half an expansion, and spend twice the time and money making in-game store items.

    Youre paying full price for less game and some pretty store windows to walk past.

    And with every expansion, less game and more store is made. At least the whales get more content, youre getting even less than that.

      Can you give some concrete examples? As I’ve said elsewhere, I played multiple supercell games, for years each, never paying a dime, and was constantly getting new content. It was the whales supporting my play. Maybe they got to hit their peak ranking higher than me, but we were pretty much doing the same thing at different levels.

      Unless we’re talking about skins. I don’t give a shit about skins. Games now a days have way more skins, and I would attribute that at least partially to the expansion of micro transactions.
