What sucks is that they've gone back and added so much of this junk to older games too. Games like Plants vs Zombies and Angry Birds used to just be skill based journeys through increasingly difficult levels. The last time I opened one of those games I hardly recognized them.
- TedDoesntTalk 4y agoI just installed and played Plants vs Zombies (the original) on Android a few days ago. I did not see any way to purchase anything…. Yet
- strictnein 4y agoI think I may have been conflating PvZ 1 and 2.
- robotnikman 4y agoYeah, its PvZ 2 which has all the added bs
- christoph 4y agoWhat's particularly galling is that many of those games had a reasonable up-front cost with an unwritten agreement you were buying a complete product, then as time and updates have gone by, they've totally junked the original product you paid your money for. I'm basically done with anything on mobile that has IAP or potentially might at a future date.

And in the case of the original Angry Birds, Rovio even removed it from the app stores (and renamed it for past purchases to "Red's First Flight") because of the "game's impact" on their portfolio and business model. https://twitter.com/Rovio/status/1627956351002443778 https://twitter.com/Rovio/status/1627956351002443778
