I'm just surprised no one has been slapped in the face yet. :wink:

Someone accusing CG of a "slap in the face" is also assuming this was done on purpose. Given CG's track record, it was probably completely accidental. They just aren't smart enough to have noticed they did it so they could tell us about it.

I'm pretty sure violations of Google play requirements is the same whether on purpose or not.

How's it a violation of anything?

One, if so inclined, could argue (1) that data provided indicates the drop rate for the previous galactic chase was in fact 3% rather than 4%, (2) CG was aware of or should have been aware of the reduction in the shard drop rate, (3) CG failed to properly notify its customers of the aforementioned change, (4) due to the aforementioned change in the shard drop rate, players received fewer shards when spending in game currency resulting in some players purchasing more in game currency to make up for the reduced shard drop rate, and (5) CG’s failure to notify its customers in this matter is tantamount to fraudulent and deceptive advertising practices.

EA is especially sensitive to these kind of issues due to the various legal actions taken against them because of “loot boxes” as well as other well known mobile games being sued for deceptive and predatory practices. These are merely some of the issues that I would be concerned with if were corporate counsel for CG.
