Out of curiosity, have there been any ios-specific characters/promotions? I've been playing for a while (over a year at least ... I believe Bistan was a login character around when I started) and I don't recall seeing any, but this is now the second Android exclusive I remember, after K2SO.
The only time iOS got something that Android didn't, was April 2016, GoH participated in the Apple Earth Day event, and there was an Ewok event and packs.
There was also the Lando promotion that was quickly shut down due to abusers.
It's worth keeping in mind that these "platform specific" promotions are paid for by the respective platform companies (i.e. Google and Apple). Regardless as to which side of the discussion you fall, it is a little short-sighted to "blame" CG/EA if the platform you chose to play on doesn't chose to pay for the various perks.
I completely understand this, but what reason is there for not allowing Apple users to purchase this for the same price? Take the amount per player you get from Google and offer that to Apple players. Google players will still be happy with Google for paying for their free stuff, while Apple users can get the same deal as well.
That defeats the purpose of the Google promotion and would likely deter Google from doing any more in the future. The promotion isn’t just a thank you to their costumers it’s also an enticement for Apple users to switch to android.
How does it defeat the purpose of the promotion? Android people would still free stuff that iOS wouldn't. For example, let's say Google/Wal-Mart gives EA $15 (made up number) kickback for this deal per person as a promotion. Why not offer iOS members a $65 package that includes $50 in crystals plus the bonus crystals and Rey shards? Android members still get their bonus, and it is made clear that they are offering extra to their customers.
