You’re too late; Party’s over – Blustone Review

It’s no secret that pretty much none of the companies who make free mobile MMOs these days could care less about how good their games are. They’re all-in for as much cash as they can squeeze out of the players, be it by scamming children, whaling, a p2w-meta, etc. Generally the plan is to make the game • unsatisfying on purpose • , because why would you pay money if you can enjoy it for free? For a while, I was thrilled with this game. It seemed like it was designed with more concern for being fun than making money. And maybe it was. It’s perfectly clear that it isn’t this way now. Decisions have been made that even the interns would have recognized as bad game design, guaranteed to upset the players on purpose, hopefully enough to squeeze a few quick bucks out of them before they move on and never look back. Never make the mistake of confusing the word “addictive” with a positive review. Addictive, by definition, means unsatisfying but with a promise of getting better that it never plans to keep.
