Well, it's been 10 years since they ran the game because last time they did it there was a massive fraud ring. This time you have to register to play the game, and you register your codes with the app. The app reports how many prizes have been claimed, and which ones, so it's good for players too because last time they got mad thinking they were playing for $1M when it was never going to happen. I agree there are instances where an app isn't warranted, but I think for this game it's app or no game at all. We don't live in 2015 anymore.
- lunias 1y agoI remember the fraud, it was insider theft and distribution of game pieces. I'm sure the new system doesn't make them immune to fraud. It now just takes a different skill set. I don't buy the "We don't live in 2015 anymore." take, do you remember the airport before 9/11? Is it okay to say, "Ah, but we don't live in 2011 anymore." There is a very clear trend of companies gaslighting everyone into thinking something is better when it's clearly only better for the company proposing it. I agree that it's cool to be able to see the remaining prize pool; it'd be really cool if I could see that on the menu, on the kiosk, on a dedicated Monopoly display in the store, etc. McDonald's can use their devices for their promotions, not mine.
