That's sneaky. And not true. This a game who's existence is to make money through a delicate balance of having enough players willing to spend an extreme amount vs. everyone else, regardless if they spend nothing, 20$ or 1000$. It's well established that gaming apps derive 50% of their revenue from the top 1% of players. Those players are unlikely to frequent forums.
@Stormy if you are looking to earn some cash through referrals, you're going to be looking for a new job. You need to get a StayAlive77 to make an app work. Game of War being a prime example.
Free or moderate spending players will get their initial gratification, then as the app matures, the top 1% of paying players will get distinct advantages for the money they have spent, as they should. For non 1% players, it's on to the next app and the next instant gratification. There's only a shelf life of two years or so anyway. Unless the devs can hold the 1% playing. They are going to play something, and once an app reaches a certain time since inception, all updates by necessity will cater to them.
Be happy though. This app is just getting started.
Not really true. Whales are gonna whale no matter what. Mobile games continue on the average spender. This is why games like Puzzles and Dragons, Clash of the Clans, Candy Crush, and Final Fantasy Record Keeper did/are doing so well.
