Freemium

'Freemium' does not equal 'Not For Profit'.

Super Cell is a capitalist company, and their objective is to make money. That is not greed; that is business.

Profit is not a sin, and gems are 100% optional to purchase.

Quit whining, or quit the game. I hear checkers is free...

Agreed. That shot is annoying.

I have no problem with it.
Its not like they are coming to your house, breaking down the door, and snatching away your wallet. It isnt even like everytime you do so ething, a pop up suddenly appears and says, "PAY US".
They dont even let people advertise on the game as pop ups, apriciate that.
This proves you have never played a game in which nearly everything is only available to people who paid the game.
And yeah, good luck in getting supercell to even consider that mode.

Its your option to pay, and you dont need gems to get ahead in the game, unlike other freemium games.

Its a business not a charity, people really need to get this in their heads.

and the problem with your idea, apart from getting less money is that a lot less people would buy the game in the first place, not knowing if they liked the game or would like it

It's sad that company's do this... It's all about the money these days.

Its not a freemium game, you should look up the definition of freemium rather than making up your own.

Why is it sad that companies do this? Im confused with this statement?

Just another broke, impatient, unskilled 12 year old ranting about how supercell is greedy. Ask your mommy for $20 worth of gems for your birthday, buy your builders and boost your barracks a couple of times, just to upgrade to th5. Then rage quit so we can steamroll your base. Good day 8)

Free to play

Upgrades, training troops, etc. takes real time, but you can speed it up with gems, which cost real money
Insane $100 micro-transactions

How games should be made:
$0.99 download fee
Single currency, not too difficult to obtain
All actions in the game are completed instantly, no waiting 2 weeks for your town hall 10
No micro-transactions

It's sad that company's do this... It's all about the money these days.

Companies make money, that's what they're supposed to do.

And yes, it is all about the money. Because you need money in the world we live in.

If you think games should be 99cents for everything, you are welcome to play games that do that.

Awesome job here I totally agree they are a lot more 'Freemium' games that are free but make you pay 1-5 dollars to continue with the game so no they're fine the way they are.

That is how the world rolls nowadays. You better get used to it
