We were just having a conversation yesterday about how this game is staying afloat with all of the donut farming. There were some suggestions of doing just what EA did and I think it's really smart.I love the game and am happy to pay for it. Not $400 bucks a year but a donut pack now and then, absolutely. If there was a danger of this game coming to a close due to lose of income, this is one smart way of saving it. The first thing I want it the RV with the lemon tree on top, I'll wait for the review first. Edit* Does need some tweaking as suggested by others.

I agree with this and I still buy donuts because I love this game but I'd have to admit that it would have been best when the mystery gifts came out.

Just withdraw direct from blunts bank account if profits start to dropI don't think this will change people's habits but nice perk. But may lose some players if they go overboard and people feel only way to get good items is to pay tons of money. Tsto appealed to many because not felt forced to buy all the time. I actually would rather have an occasional ad if it made them more money and kept them from losing freemium playets

People still aren't forced to buy.

It seems like they added an additional benefit and speculation is getting the best of a lot of people. From some posts, it seems like it's a gift with purchase that doesn't expire. So that those who buy donuts will get a free gift on their first purchase of each pack. But again we don't know that to be true.I realize some want all of it and it's cost prohibitive to get all of them. But it's a free gift with purchase. A thank you to those who are making purchases. Can't have the world for free.Either way - Wait - we don't know the details yet.

While I love this game & I fully support this game & the devs. This is a bogus move on their part

I like* the BONUS prize idea. | EA Forums

It's not really different than how the game used to be when it started. Everyone got the free stuff and could earn money to buy more freemium things; but free donuts were harder to come by than Troy McClure or Lionel Hutz. If you wanted to get a premium character/item, you had no choice but to spend money and buy a donut package to get it.

Now that donuts rain from the sky and anyone who is willing to put in a minimal effort can quickly gather enough to buy premium items; there has to be another way to get people to spend real money.

Maybe it's something they had to do at this point. Maybe profitability is way down?

Definitely getting Springfield, RV and Shelbyville, thats like what 35$?

Better idea would have been bundles marked at set price, like pay 35 $ for one character and item (limit 2 for obvious reasons) + set amount of donuts, i feel people would have gone for that over spending 100$ to get a lame Shelbyvlle statue.

Now if it was a fully voiced BENDER Bending Rodriguez character................

In my personal opinion it's messed up because it forces you to buy 5 different donuts packages despite the fact that the amount of donuts received goes down exponentially as the price drops. Someone who only buys boatloads for $100 for 2400 donuts every once in a while now has to buy all the lesser deals to get all the characters/items. I think if they were going to implement this it should be that you get a certain character/item everytime you buy donuts not a different character/item on each donuts package.

That's true. Maybe the boatload should offer all bonus items. That would make more sense.
