Well aren't there a ton of bitter apples around here? You guys can always either not buy anything or stop playing?
Anyways.
I'm happy. I got nearly 1200 donuts for $40. I spend that much on each of the Nintendo game my son plays....so what's the difference, exactly? Wii games are even more expensive. I spend hours a week on this game, it relaxes me and I enjoy watching my town grow as well as interacting with people here. For me? It's worth it.
I'm sure there will be problems in the future. I have no doubt that their will be server issues again. However, once I realized that I have spent way more on my sons' games for his Nintendo....it put it all into perspective for me.
I wish his Nintendo games were this cheap! LOL
This is 100% how I feel. I spend $60 on PS3 games I don't play as much as I play TSTO.
At least there's an end to a Nintendo game. You buy it once. Tapped Out will keep having updates, and it ends up costing $100+ to get everything. It wouldn't be so bad if there was a way to earn doughnuts besides the rare level-up.
I take the deal and purchase the frinks labs, the cannon, the channel 6 antena and the new doctor, I also have a 102 donuts that I will save for a future purchase.

True. But Nintendo games are static, TSTO is fluid because of constant content updates and the ability to completely level your town and do a total redesign. Also unlike the Nintendo games, you do not need to spend a single penny to play this game. Finally Nintendo games end. Eventually you complete all levels and are done.
I've definitely gotten more than $40 worth of enjoyment out of this game.
It comes down to individual tastes and preferences. I was determined not to spend another dime on this game till I looked under the tree and saw the wrapped packages. A new Nintendo 3Ds and about 6 games to go with it. That is far more than what I've spent on TSTO and I can almost bet that I've played this game for more hours than he will spend playing those games under the tree.

Same way I feel. I don't spend wrecklessly. I save and budget, wait for deals (been some good ones for itune cards). Add in another deal (25% more) and strike while the iron is hot. There will always be people that won't be satisfied. If they had given 25% off, still would have been posts saying it is not enough.

Wiping out your town and redesigning is the equivalent of starting over...something you can do in any video game.
And if you're playing a game with online capabilites, like Mario Kart Wii, then that won't end, either. You can always race with other people online. There are also RPGs with random dungeons, so there's always a new challenge. And you only had to pay once.
I brought 165 donuts for £7 ?
I got the Krustylu studios and the cannon. I love Sideshow Mel's cannon task! ? I am making a prop department after I saw the idea in a thread. It looks great next to Channel 6!

Oh! Be sure to post a screenshot. I just stuck the studio in a corner because I didn't know what to do with it yet. Would love to see some ideas.

True, but xbox, ps3, etc. also offer DLC for games. And just like this game, you can CHOOSE to buy it or skip it. But they do charge for something you did not originally buy from the store.
As someone who bought the boat load of donuts when the christmas update came out, I gotta say this kind of **** me off and makes me realize how much money I've wasted on this game. I'm done for the most part after this. I might check in and spend the rest of the donuts I have every now and then, but like hell I will be spending anymore. Thanks EA.

EA was very stupid for not having this promotion the entire month. And it was, in a sense, a middle finger to have Gil offer us a promotion that required spending donuts before this discount donut promotion
and yet i still got fcked by gil, the day before the offer i already bought 300 donuts, then tomorrow come they have offer !, and then cause i don't want to feel oh damn not getting bonus, bought another 300+75, and now i feel "* if i just wait for 1 more day i will got another extra 75 donuts ! * u gil !
I believe I'm going to take advantage of this as well, and get 375 & 75 donuts, to get the Volcano Lair, Frink's Lab and the Aztec Theater. I was hoping to have gotten an iTunes giftcard so I could shamelessly get donuts, but what are ya gonna do...
I tried to take advantage of this but now I can't get past the Gracie films screen and it randomly asks for apple password. I have deleted and installed and I am now scared that every time I enter my password I buy another set of doughnuts. Anyone know what I can do? I will soo not be making this mistake again.

I keep wanting to buy, but issues like yours are keeping me from doing so.
