i've played mobile games for quite some time... a lot of big name games. i'd like to say i've never seen such a dumpster fire in any of the other games. most of those games have required much more intense communication between server and client sides. many of those games didn't have hundreds of millions of dollars of revenue.
why is it you can't get your act together? it's not a cash flow problem, obviously. it's not an issue with trying out new, advanced, and untested technologies. you're doing basic stuff here, from an IT standpoint. you have the money to hire quality developers and the time to do proper testing. why do you refuse to do those 2 simple steps? and after refusing those tried and true methods of proper software distribution, you drag your feet in sending out information to the users. you send out forum mods, who either don't have any real information or have their hands tied as to what information they can give. they simply attempt to placate the masses and do a poor job of damage control.
this is amateur hour stuff. and you're not supposed to be amateurs any longer. that ship sailed looooooong ago.
i know this won't get any real response. but as a business owner, it's offensive to me that you continue to function in such a ridiculously inefficient and backwards manner. maybe i'm just jealous that you have the ability to be awful at this and still make silly amounts of money. your product has great potential. i just wish i believed you could make it reach that height. unfortunately, i think that's impossible. maybe it's management and not the developers and testers. maybe management hamstrings the whole deal. it happens, sometimes. as a whole, you're as bad at handling your product as any company i've ever dealt with. i wish that i could screw up so badly, so many times and still keep my company going and raking in dump trucks full of cash.
i know you won't correct things as a whole. i know you'll continue to send out your kabam baghdad bob's to tell us everything is fine/everything is working as intended/we're addressing the issues/etc etc etc. it's just sad. i'll stupidly continue to hope for the best, but i'm a realist... and we all know at this point that you're just putting out updates so you can say you have new content. too bad you have zero knowledge of what else will happen when those updates are pushed. too bad the product isn't anywhere near as important as the profit. too bad your customers are seen as so unimportant. too bad you think everything will be alright as long as you hit your monthly "new player" quotas. too bad.
