Ok, so now I don’t feel so bad about being an old man and still playing video games of one sort or another. I am 50, I remember when one cousin got pong and another got an Atari. I lived at arcades playing things like Donkey Kong and Defender (never cared for Pac Man). Played many different online multiplayer games since the mid 1990’s. There were always hacks and cheaters. And there were always people that believed in conspiracies.
I know there are ways to exploit games. I know there is a way to exploit this game. I also know there are hacks, people that have birds above level 10. But I do not believe the people at Rovio are in on it. I will not question the integrity of Mr. Bankler and now Mr. Hank or the people they work with and for. They would not be here reading what we write and responding if they did not care. They have appreciated and responded to screen shots and facts. That is how we help Rovio and help to improve our enjoyment of the game.
Mr. Hank admitted that the use of spells was unforeseen and has gotten out of hand. He was right that the new arena raised the stakes. He said other issues brought up are important to them. Rovio is losing money because of some issues, so they will work on fixing them and make the play better for all. That is how Rovio will make money. And making a profit is a good thing. Or do you want to pay to go to work rather than be paid?
