    Yikes, that happens so very often: they lure people in then abuse them for cash, just like Google and Microsoft and Apple and Meta and Reddit and X etc. It would be cool if people developed better open source alternatives.:-) But especially it gets so tricky with anything multiplayer bc people want so very badly to cheat:-(.

      They just made the game very difficult for new players, basically killing userbase renewal.

      Milking benefit before killing the game as a whole.

        A tale as old as time, and somehow we all keep falling for it, saying how THIS game will be different. And then it is… until it isn’t anymore:-(.

        I am sorry you are having to go through that.:-( I feel the same about my game that’s currently doing the same as well. Another Eden is the only mobile ga(t)cha that I allowed myself to play, bc of it being a spiritual successor to Chrono Trigger, arguably the best JRPG of all time. And it was that, for a time, and to some extent still is, but it is also in process to not be thus anymore, and has been moving steadily in that direction for a long time.

        Then again, if I were still a mod of that community then I’d have to remain on Reddit where it stayed, so letting it go freed me to seek out other things such as Lemmy:-). Perhaps you won’t have to “quit” yours just yet, even if you can no longer recommend it to newer players starting out. Another Eden has been coasting like that for years.
