Living in Japan, I have to deal with Line but I don't like it. My major complaint is that Line encourages you to spam your friends advertising their games. For example, Line Pop artifically limits the number of times you can play the game, but you can easily nag your friends to send you more 'hearts' so you can continue. Pretty sure Line Play gives you in game currency for inviting anyone to play it, whether they are your friends or not, so I have tons of people I don't know send me requests.
This stuff was so spammy I had turn off Line notifications, so I prefer to use normal text messages whenever possible.
I could see other users get sick of it the same way I did.

- shawnps 13y agoInteresting, I live in Japan too and use Line often, but have never received any requests of this sort. Sounds really annoying, but luckily it seems that no one I know actually plays those games.
- unsignedint 13y agoThat's actually not really unique features for Line games. Many of puzzle games in social network enforces play count that recovers over time. Some way, I find a lot of FB games worse in this respect that a lot of games practically make spamming to play mandatory. (or you could pay yourself out of The requirement however...)
