I feel the same way.
I play my 25 lives in under 30 minutes and bounce out.
I still get opportunities to watch ads, but only for 5 extra moves.
I'm no longer being offered the bonuses that will allow you to complete the level .
When this change first occurred I took the chance. I had one move left to win so I watched the 3 ads. The game blocked me from being able to crush that single ball.
That made me so mad I committed myself to no more ads.
I don't care how long I'll be stuck on a level anymore.
I play my few lives, pass out multiple lives to other's, and then leave.
I may be frustrated, but no one is going to take advantage of me/my time like that.
It's either a symbiotic relationship or it isn't.
If I'm being locked down I'm sure as heck not rewarding them with profit from me watching ads.
The Greed in Candy Crush is palpable.
They (CCS) made 956 Million US dollars in 2023. Squeezing us like this is just too much to ask of us and I deeply resent it!
Hello @TerminatorBarbie πββοΈ
I do not know about that!! I have been playing the game from 10+ years! I do not spend a penny in my game except for the Gold bars I earned! But, except for the Sweet Cinema and/or Treasure Hunt features, I havenβt seen Ads till now!!
It makes no sense to me that CCS would make the odds so miserable players like myself quit watching ads altogether.
Their algorithm knows I don't spend cash. The only way CCS was profiting from me was by my own willingness to watch ads, which they get paid very well per click!
It took a few days, but my brain has re-adjusted.
My bonus inventory is building quite nicely though π
I'm not spending accumulated gold/bonuses.
When a player goes this route they get to see how the algorithms lock em up / out from being able to complete the level; it's ugly!
They're game, they get to do what they want with it, but each player has control over how much they want to feed that monster.
I plan to starve it.π
