Got a game question or need help? This is the place to ask!
After a few years playing this game and more than a few dollars spent, I recently hit level 10,000. You would think in the world of Candy Crush this would be viewed as a significant achievement. Did I receive any rewards - NO! I did receive an offer to BUY some boosters if I wanted to spend more money. Iβm basically done with this game - the rewards arenβt commensurate with the amount of time and effort (and money) involved. I realize the game is free to players, but realistically if you want to advance within a reasonable amount of time, you have to purchase booster packages periodically. King is a highly profitable company with revenues in the billions - you would think that once in a while they could toss their long term loyal players a bone. π‘
I agree that prizes for winning contests are lame, and are not worth the time and energy you have to put in to win.
I also agree that giving us a "discount package" for hitting big milestones is not really a prize at all.
I know that that the objective here for the creators is to make money, but if your players feel like they aren't valued, they aren't going to stick around.
A lot of times, it just feels like this game is trying to frustrate you into spending money. It's too noticeable.
