This latest "Special Offer" is a complete joke.

Ooooh LOOK!! You can carry on playing for 9 gold instead of 19!! I beg your pardon King Care?? That is the regular cost all the time anyway. Are you trying to be funny or what??

Hello,

Concept, design, implementation, support and maintenance of our games is a long and complicated process.  While we are always dedicated to providing the finest in mobile gaming fun, we often need to test new features and evaluate possible tweaks to our pricing structures, to ensure our games are well balanced and viable.

All of our games can always be played and enjoyed for free with no purchases required whatsoever.  We do offer players the possibility to buy small items to either speed up their waiting process or add a little helper for that tricky level, however these purchases are entirely optional and never compulsory in order to work your way through the game.

This current price change is one of these tests that we need to run every now and again, to see whether any further tweaks are needed. However, rest assured I’ll pass your thoughts and feedback onto the Development team for them to take into consideration. 

I hope that this helps answer your question and if you are interested in game design methodology and development there is a super interesting Wiki page here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_game_development#Development_process

Kind regards,

Johnny

I'm sorry but that does NOT excuse it. You are just hiding the actual question about people being stupid enough to think they are getting a "bargain" under technical stuff. To me and I'm sure thousands of others your'e just taking the p*ss. Sorry, but that is a FACT. Another issue is the game keeps pinching my energy all the time and what IS going on with visiting neighbours?? Until the other day we could visit four mornings and four late afternoon. Now suddenly it's only one or two at the most? I would appreciate a proper response please, thank you. Kate.
