Interesting but have you thought that maybe the team just thought this was a cool idea and didn't care about sales as whatever they put out people buy... You never know one of them might have been outside smoking and saw a bunny and thought that it could be cool to zap bunnies and make it all funny by having them lay eggs. The prize system could just be something fun they thought they would try. :-)
These are good points. I've mentioned previously on this forum that I don't think EA is a giant, nefarious corporate monster looking to suck the will out of their players; however, that said, I'm sure profitability remains very high in their internal corporate messaging.
I do also believe that devs are continuously on the look out for new ways to keep the playerbase engaged, and you have to hand it to them - this event has certainly engaged us all!
I personally think that the original idea was to introduce a new element to the game, because players were starting to feel the events were becoming repetitive and mundane. But unfortunately, I think the new system must have been so financially rewarding for EA, that they decided to overhaul the game completely. I am also disappointed in the direction the game has gone, but I also feel it was inevitable. I still enjoy the game for now, but if it becomes like some other games, that make it impossible to enjoy the game without spending money, then I'll move on.
Edit: typo
Agreed. I too will move on and the game will wallow away in my iPad trash pile along with Real Racing 3, Clash of Clans, Jurrasic Park, and many other "successful" games I've invested in, yet whose free-to-play business models were ultimately deal breakers.
