simpsons tapped out
hiengineer
I have been playing this game for years and never spent a cent. That's how a stick it to EA.
Lookatmyballs
Hey atleast with real video games you don't have to wait a day before you can play for 15 minutes just to wait another day.
GonicUK
Isn't this game considered freemium? Correct me if I'm wrong
IstMe
Yes, but the are making fun of them self in the latest campain.
GonicUK
Fair enough! Just wanted that cleared up thanks.
Granac
Holy crap I was literally just playing that game!
FuzzBall87
I have never spent so much as a dollar on "Freemium" games. But I did play DLC Quest: Live Freemium or Die

What game is this?
RybiHaven
I'm from the future and this perfectly describes activision and destiny, it is really kind of sad.
Elonth
and this is why i love dota2 its 100% free except for cosmetics
Elonth
which even then you get a chance to randomly drop the more you play and can trade them for others.

As a PC gamer: $60?! That's ridiculous. Just wait for a steam sale.
Lookatmyballs
As a PC Gamer yes. And why the fuck would you want to play a game that makes you wait ungodly hours with nothing to do.
spacecadetout
I like the challenge of spending $0 on these games
ngthagg
Except for the fact that AAA titles are rarely perfect works of art, this is true.
Lookatmyballs
Shitty little droid games like this are no better if not worse
ngthagg
But the indie games on Steam are frequently better, and are a fraction of the price of big releases.
ButIBuildAThousandBridges
My girlfriend is hooked on the Simpsons freemium game. It's just the same thing over and over. I'm smarter though, which is why I'm on imgur
JustSomeGuy44
im just... hooked on a feeling (8)
FirstClassTicketToHell
I'm hooked on both...

>over and over. Heard about reposts m8?

i tried it and didn't' get the appeal of it, its just like other games of its kind, build stuff then wait then repeat.

So long as you find it fun though, it's your money to spend at the end of a day, really. Big budget = not guaranteed to be good.
DAvelikesCAke
That's an awkward spot to put an equals sign
vetal
Most of my favourites are actually really low budget productions. STALKER & Warband for example, hundreds of hours of fun for a few $$$.
Glumerlink
pushing them to spend money for instant gratification. Starting with only a few dollars here or there and suddenly you've spent $400 and(2)
beeratius
But they're kind of trying to exploit a very basic point of human psychology to get you to spend the money on it, aren't they?
imshibagel
Not guaranteed, but big budget games sell the best for a reason
Glumerlink
you feel emptier than ever before because the games don't actually offer anything close to genuine fun or accomplishment.(3)
Glumerlink
yeah but freemium games are addictive. they're inherently morally suspect as they give people the illusion of free will while (1)
P3nnyG4l3
just bought https://www.g2a.com/r/discounts_ do they have got some top coupons lately..
IanatimuscarnivorusGranticles
I have been playing steadily for a year and a half now, only mobile game to hold my attention.
lainie
Same here. I'll play Plants vs Zombies for a month and go right back to the Simpsons. Never spent a dime.
atutti
Yeah pretty much this for me too, and I've never spent a penny in it.
PinkProzac
Ditto!
Lookatmyballs
Fuck that shit why should I have to wait 24 hours to progeress further into a game\
notme222
It's EA, so they are exactly as soulless as they pretend to be. But at least the writers break the 4th wall about it.
lotusgold733
BREAKING ComCast and EA announce merger with Time Warner Cable.
ModusPonens
It's pretty perfect, really, with the way that the Simpsons is always farting on FOX.
mudkipfucker2
Simpsons video games working for EA works so well considering the TV show works for FOX
SocietyOfSensation
*everyone laughing at the soulless fuckery of EA* continued by *everyone throwing money at them*
therealelizacat
People who complain about EA then continue to buy their crappy games imo have no right to complain about EA.

YOU STILL OWE ME CHINA RISING FOR RESERVING BATTLEFIELD 4 D:<
MHMaille
I'm pretty sure everyone at EA is ashamed of the company's behaviour, except for those who can actually influence it.
cow042
At qa level, we are more ashamed of the devs spelling and grammar than we are about the day one dlc.

WhatIveDean
I feel bad for DICE, I think they're a great company, but they sure did draw the short end of the stick working for EA
LionelOu
I'm sure Bioware wasn't all that happy about being forcibly bought up either.
Rhase
I mean, the Doctors left.
WhimsicalCalamari
I dunno, they seem to be the favorite. EA even told them they could have as much time and money as they needed for Mirror's Edge 2.
WhatIveDean
That's good, I hope they do the same with Battlefront as well
Counterfit
Maybe they could shift some of those resources to Battlefield...
icanthelpbutmakecompletelyobviouscomments
Well when you screw over their money-making franchise, as a publisher you kind of have a duty to make sure they stay on your side.
Corona688
Hahaha. No, they don't.
LuigiNut02
The Simpsons have always been known for constantly biting the hand of FUX - why should Electronic Farts be any different?

Simpsons: Tapped Out... pretty fun game actually. good humour and you don't have to actually spend money at all. I played it for a few weeks
Cyanide555
I have been playing for over a year and have not spent a cent. It's getting pretty shyte now though.
imtiredofthinkingupaccounts
been playing for the past 3 days. I can see how people can spend money, but it doesnt seem necessary so far
whodathunkit
You could just do what I do....and find the hacks online that give you unlimited donuts >>
FuckYourJortsDude
does it require a jailbroken device?
whodathunkit
You can get a program called Bluestacks, lets you play Android games on your pc, use it to get the hacked APK that gives you the stuff.
izzygoneyet
Very true I have spent nothing and I'm at top level. It only took half a year.
