not a big fan of this new updated feature where there’s a chance that ads play whenever you take an action in the game - unlike the ‘view an ad for an extra reward’ where i can anticipate that my gameplay experience will be paused for x amount of time, this set-up is startling and interrupts immersion. nothing in the version history mentions this change, or the logic behind it - is it ‘every first action of a particular type plays an ad’ or is it on a timer or is it completely random?
right now, this feels hostile to players. advertisements can be interpreted as attacks on people’s time and attention, especially when you aren’t expecting them. this updated game behavior has rendered it nearly unplayable for me.
i very much enjoy the game, and wish to keep my progress in it, as well as keep playing in the future! i was already watching ads for extra bonuses before this change, but i don’t want them to be the price i have to pay just to access the game. i will check back in a month or so to see if player backlash has spurred any changes, before making a decision about deleting Fairyland . if i don’t return, thank you for the year+ of delightful merging fun.
