Cozy Celebrations Rewards Event: December 3-January 10

I cannot express how angry it made me logging in today to have this full screen ad slapped across the whole dang screen. I just cannot get behind these events, at all.

If these were scenarios I wouldn't mind but they are not. The last event was basically a malware worm.

It brute forced it's way into every save file we have without permission, held our games hostage for weeks, created more bugs than the rewards promised (that is assuming you would have given permission to join the event) & could not be disabled even if users did not want to "participate".

As someone who works in tech with a focus on security these events are user hostile to a point of being revolting.

I understand some people are very excited for this sort of event & as someone else said, I'm happy for you. However from a user friendlyness perspective these events need to be opt out. Not a single one of us signed up for a Battle Pass style game in 2014 10 years & $1,000+ ago. Changing your business model to this extreme midstream release is a good way to make just about everyone unhappy in some way.

I think we really need to ask, why do they even have scenarios if events like this are going to be forced now?
