Way way overpriced but can you blame EA if gullible people spend tonnes of their disposable income on this game. I just read somewhere on here that somebody was thinking of buying a boatload for the Squidport / Squishport competition. Ea must be rubbing their hands every time a new update is released knowing people on here have to get the most recent buildings and have to rush them with doughnuts, just in time for the 'What did you do?' threads :mrgreen:

I'm sure EA's mouths ARE watering knowing we anxiously await their updates in this game. It's called successful business. No one is "gullible" for spending their disposable income on something they love to do. You spend money to go to sporting events, movies, plays, restaurants, etc. Why are there so many people in this forum that have to complain if someone else wants to buy donuts?

As I've said, to each their own, but the utility I get from attending a concert, eating a good meal, seeing a renown play is much higher than an intangible mobile game...this isn't even on your computer, you don't own access to it. If EA decides to kill the game in December, what can you say you got from spending so much cash on it? You have nothing to show. To me, that's the biggest difference, I've played a couple of social games on Facebook like this, and after about 1-2 years, the developer took them offline, I'm happy I never spent money on them. I don't think people complain that othes spend money - you're financing the game for us - but some people don't see the point in spending the insane amounts of money people have spent on the game (i.e. people who have bought 3-5 boatloads already)

Thank you for realizing that the game would be over with if people were not spending money on this app. I seriously appreciate you admitting that. The big problem I have is people like yourself calling it an insane amount of money to spend on a game (3-5 boatloads). To some people that is nothing at all. We are all faceless, nameless people on an Internet forum. You have no clue how much money I make. I have no clue how much money you make. To some a boatload purchase is financially out of the question, to others, pocket change. I have yet to see one post where someone calls another out or tries to mock them for NOT purchasing donuts. I see way too many whiners on here that constantly have to put others down for their purchases. If people want to purchase something that gives them entertainment, that is no ones business but their own.

It's the same as making fun of a neighbor or relative that just bought a new expensive car. It comes off as petty and whether you intended it to or not, reeks of jealousy.

You're right. Some people don't see the point in spending real money on this game. That's fine. Some people do see the point. That's fine also.

As you can tell by my little rant here, I'm getting real tired of the whining from those that don't!

Well said menace. There are always jealous posters here. Making a dig at other people's designs, other people's in game cash, other people's premiums, other people speeding up quests and buildings. There's always something these posters are jealous of. But that's their nature. Tear people down whenever they feel inadequate. Just ignore them and leave them to whine on their own. In the meantime lets get back to designing menace.
