Ha ha ! Me too! Then 400.. then to 500! Because 500 sounds like a nice #. And I hope in the future we get more springfeild hights!

I don't see why we wouldn't, just look how much space is left on that side of town.

I'm really glad I read this. I am presently trying to decide on my next big dollar purchase and this helped make my decision a lot easier. Thanks a lot to everyone who commented, both for and against.

Don't get me wrong I like the building and the fact you get the wise guy and after reading the posts I can see where it can benefit, but the cost of using it for someone like me who has anywhere from 100,000 to 300,000 at any given time it's not worth it. I've stopped upgrading the tree just so I can build up cash. I'll probably use it once I have the money and need more resources beyond the limit

The building is great and the character is better - but if this was their attempt to give us a boost with the heights - it was a massive fail. They need to both cut the cost in half and double the prize payout for it to even resemble being worth wild.

Exactly! For the cost of playing a movie is expect a far greater payout.

NOT a massive fail.

Did you read my post? It's a massive win, IF IT WORKS FOR YOU. I love the thing now and I was one of the first to jeer its high prices.

But i am over $7M and maintaining it easily with only 233% bonus, while using the theater continuously to run $200k movies for ads to build tiles. I can't air movies fast enough!, because the tiles build so quickly.

Not everyone is in the same place and so not everything is equally usable by everyone. But a fail it is not. I love it now. Screw SH grinding! (And the only way I'll be an SH billionaire is if Cookie earns it! )

At first I thought I wouldn't use it. I'm already a SH billionaire. Then I started making statues and ads whenever I thought about it. Just in case I ever need them. I forgot about the fancy tiles.

Yeah I see where you are coming from. I'm barely at 500,000 in cash and i've stopped doing the tree purely because I need to build up my money. I guess I'll have to wait till I have a bit of money and see if I use it.

Its a nice attempt, this is my best attempt at unbiased opinion.

See from an older players point of view, yeah high bonus plus a well created town with high payouts at constant intervals 100+ characters doing tasks around the clock, yeah there is a cash flow and you can afford it.

New players point of view?
SH unlocked at lv 30, googlplex at lv 60 thats 30 levels to get your town together and figure out a strategy that works for you, problem?
CASH, cash, cash, Googlpex alone is 1,000,000+ land updates are in the early 100ks to early millions if it gets anymore expanded we might see land being sold at the lowest a million per section.
Then you have aspirationals, and bunrs money mountain, lisas tree, etc etc.


It is true, as a tapper said:
SH is meant to be a long term project, something that you must work to, and not something you can accomplish in a couple days or week"

Even when released only a handful of tappers reached a billion within a month, i should know for the first month i was between the top 10-20 in my rooster of SH, then i dropped to top 40 than to top 60.... (was not hardcore enough)

Conclusion, this is a cnie attempt, with the rest of the extra methods EA has released (Number 1 and lodge, Homer and cauldron) this one seems to be the balanced one, the other two are very generous so it makes sense for one of them to you know cost a little bit more.
Hopefully (and i dont see why it wont happen) when and if there is another SH update, Googlpex gets an update, perhaps the ability to craft the new resource or such (hopefully new prizes or something).

However it is a freemium item so you cant really compare it to other items, want to talk about the best purchase ever that saved me from SH grinding? Yellow submersible i dont have to pay to craft tiles, it pays me and if im lucky i get a tile for free! thats a good purchase. too bad it was limited time.
