Frequent disruptive updates that negatively affect long-term players.
"The new services 2.0 update has completely destroyed every bit of enjoyment."
"The latest update is such a money grab I might just delete the game."
Until recently, the game was great. But there has been too many ridiculous changes to keep up that logging in and going to war have just been cumbersome.
Made the game glitchy and slow. Needless upgrades to services for fully developed cities has made me stop playing.
Over monetized. Too much tampering
The game is plagued with bugs that show up later in game play and that destroy your city after you have built it up. The developers won’t fix it.
Update made game unplayable. 10+ years of playing just to see my city destroyed by new services requirements
As someone who spent a year buying each and every season pass . being active everyday , even on my lunch hours to being active every once in a while now … the 2.0 really ruined the game an i can guarantee many others can vouch for that .
Ruining the game play with how much they push the ads. Also, the ads they sponsor rarely pay the rewards the promise because they magically glitch at the end of the ad, forcing you to watch another ad.
The powers that be have ruined a great game. The core mission should be city building/management, Absolutely a disaster now, it’s become unplayable.
