Please eliminate platform-specific events

Like any of yall In here would ever reject the amount they are getting for this minor makes no difference event out of some sense of altruism and fairness, get a grip and bitch at apple for not caring.

FYI I only have 2 of the 4 reasonably get table droids so I won't be participating anyhow.

That's all most people have....that's the point and why they are running the promotion.

You just don't get it do you?

EA could announce tomorrow that they are deleting everything from all of our accounts and making us all start over from scratch unless we pay then $1000, and there would be some people who would come here supporting this as a wonderful decision and flaming anyone who complained about it.
It's just the nature of humanity, and especially gamers, who have a reputation as being big whiners, but are actually mostly doormats.

Now that you mention it (I had the same idea responding to another thread), that should be the reason for the uproar, not the silly event and its rewards and making the game unfair. It's that the small dev team is probably not giving updates this week because they are working so hard to hit Googles timeline. Thus, taking development time away from the full game and putting it towards android only. Being upset for that I can totally get behind.

That's quite a bit different than the op's statement though:

They are divisive, unfair and make absolutely no sense to me at all.

Fortunately, through the mostly civil discourse here the community arrived at the right conclusion, which is:

There hasn't been much new content, and instead of creating universally accessible content CG are focusing on short-term platform-specific initiatives...that's not cool...

Couldn't have said it better myself

Weren't there character gifts specific to your device? I'm on a Samsung and got an IG-86 at the start. I thought it was cool and immediately thought of what other characters Apple device's would have gotten. I have gotten used to being shunned for not having a particular type of device because I mainly used a Kindle before my Samsung. You can't even get this game on a Kindle's modified Android operating system. Now that is something to think about. And on my daughter's Android, a something-or-other-free-from-Verizon-gift-from-Grandma, she didn't get any type of free character to begin with. I'm pretty sure as someone pointed out, these "perks" are a form of gratuitous advertising from the companies, in this case Google and in my case Samsung.

Now I'm curious whether there was a free character given to Apple Device users. Did anyone get one?

Nope no free toon you guys got the Samsung starter pack also all I got was dark side starter but like you say it's apples fault for not advertising the game really or androids for been clever

Exactly it's either apple lagging behind or Google finding a way to promote themselves.

No, it's greedy EA accepting money even if it means alienating half their playerbase

I don't think all the games that are part of Google Play Month are EA games. I have a feeling they picked top selling games that draw the most money/player base to their play store.

Don't bring logic into this emotional fume fest

The logic is sound

"Do this for us and we'll give you money"

I think we all understand that. The other truth is that this alienates half the playerbase. So it seems like you're the one trying to avoid the truth and logic. But keep defending these multibillion dollar companies. I'm sure they appreciate it lmao

I'm not avoiding truth or logic, I just accept the reality of the situation. Everyone knows EA is viewed as one of the most greedy companies but customers pour money into their titles anyway. They obviously are successful with their current business model, so why would they operate differently? If customers aren't satisfied with a provider whether it be gaming industry, cell/tv/internet provider, restaurant, etc then they should show that by not giving money and time to said providers anymore.

Apple got gd poe which was worth 3 times more than phasma.

To all the people saying "it's marketing" or comparing it to Xbox and PS4 exclusives. Here's the difference, you're NOT playing against other PS4 players while you're playing on your Xbox.

To justify a game played between players via cross platform and support isolated marketing you're a scumbag. I'm not going to go buy an android because of a game nor would anyone else with a brain. Also if it is because Apple doesn't pay EA for exclusives, I don't blame them for not supporting that junk. If this "event" is true, this game won't see another penny from me.

And i'm competing against whales with 7* Rey, yoda, old ben....Does this make it fair for f2p? Are there separated shards for f2p and p2p? No.
There is nothing unfair with that event. You can get the same droids shards, ability mats and training droid in roughly 1 week.

This thread is pathetic. Seriously get a life and stop worrying about a game. If people cared this much about real life issues perhaps the world would be in a better place. If you do not like the game then stop playing it. No one is forcing you to play. Plus this event is not even out yet. Everyone looks like are panicing before it even comes out. Grow up and do something productive instead of worrying about something that you have no control over.
