I apologize my response wasn't clear enough for you. To directly answer your question; I play the game because I DO still enjoy it, albeit, not as much as I once did because of their money hungry updates. I never said, nor implied, that you said I hate the game.
Now I'll answer your question in your latest post. Clearly I do not support the game. I choose to not vote for it, and have given it a 1 star rating on the App Store. Additionally, I choose not to support the game financially anymore. All in all, my playing for free actually costs them money to support my connection. So, in the long run, I negatively impact their bottom line. Please do not mistake my enjoyment in the game for support of the game. They are not, nor will ever be, tied together. Another example; I enjoy the Presidency of the United States and all freedoms and privliges it (and the nation) grant me, but I do NOT support President Obama. I am not attempting to make any political statement here, nor do I invite any political discussions. I use that only as example to hopefully illustrate that the two topics do not relate directly to each other. Perhaps you see that, perhaps you don't. If you do not then we can agree to disagree.
Finally, the reason I choose not to response to Steve is I hold no faith (from direct experience as I have made previous attempts) that any feedback I provide will go futher then the words on the screen you're reading. I'm not saying that Steve will not relay my feedback, but Steve as a community manager likely holds no cards or weight in the overall development of the game. The staff here, frankly, are nothing but lip service, by no fault of their own. My beef is not with Steve, or Daddy, or any other the other Supercell participants on this forum. It's with the decision makers behind the Supercell scene that choose profits vastly over any customer concerns, while masking the blatant profit grabbing by trying to pitch us "bonus loot" or other such non-sense schemes.
I've voiced my opinion, in writing, and my vote against Clash of Clans' competition on this nomination. So I'll take your last piece of advice and "shut up" now.
Cheers. Hope you have a wonderful rest of the day!
