The toughest thing was getting over the mental hurdle of dropping $99 on a mobile game.

I had that same hurdle. But when I really thought about it, I've had way more play time and enjoyment out of TSTO than almost any Xbox or PS game I've ever bought... most of which were $60 ea.

It was made a little harder by the fact that whatever pack of donuts I bought for me, I also had to buy for my wife. :shock:

At least with physical Xbox/PS games you can resell them and recoup some of the funds. With buying digital stuff you've forfeited all money forever for the product.

Depends on the game. All my Husband plays are sports games. You can never sell those back, pretty much ever.

lol- where do you live? Most places buy all games even sports ones- the price just drops faster on the sports ones- because they are yearly- but the DONT refuse usually to buy at all unless their several years old already. But I have a friend that credits up his last years madden- for the new one, for at least 6 years now


Welcome to the boatload club- I am also a recent member...... But I did it for black friday

Decided I enjoy the game enough that I would buy some donuts. Like everything else I do, I went for the best value and get a boatload. I ended up with 280 left, and bought:

Volcano Lair
Cracker Factory
Lugash's Gym
Barney's Bowlrama
Krustylu Studios
Lotto N' Liquor
Community Center
Frink's Lab
Stu's Disco
The Happy Sumo
Duff Brewery
Springfield Coliseum
The Hungry Hun

Everything I bought was building + character. I'm very happy with my purchases thus far!

If you would've waited, you would have saved 295 donuts during the Black Friday sale. But none of us knew what it was going to contain. But you nabbed yourself a great deal of goodies, and your game is going to make you much happier because of it.

On the other hand (mine), I wound up spending 965 donuts during this 'sale', and saving 335. Actually, if I decide to go for Little Lady Justice and the Film Set, it'll be 1,105 spent and 390 saved. Premium is a slippery slope! I haven't even tried to add up how much I would have saved by waiting til now for all the premium items I've purchased since May. But as I said, the game is happier... And EA is richer for it.

That's a paddlin'!

Tappy Happing, my friend!

You know, when the Black Friday sale hit, I also immediately thought of this thread.

OP is likely in hiding somewhere slapping himself with a turkey leg.
