not worth playing anymore

When I first started playing ZP, I thought that it was an alright little game with some potential. However, the developers have decide to change it from a survival game into a social game. Instead of actually developing the game and fixing problems like farming they have been spending their time on making the game pretty for the social butterfly crowd. They have added a few missions in the last three months, but only enough for a few days of playing.

They have stated that they are not going to have the original 8 maps that they were planning and instead will settle for 4 or maybe 5. They are planning to make it so that it will be almost impossible for new players to go it alone and then they will have to join clans. The whole game is being shifted towards clan play where everyone holds each others hands to play.

The developers are basically selling out to the pop culture crowd.

I strongly encourage people to stay away from this and any other Pixel Pandemic game. Even if you do decide to play, please don't waste your money on them. 4  out of 11 found this valuable. Do you?

You think people make games because of the happiness it brings the children of the world? It's a job, they do it for money. 3  out of 3 found this valuable. Do you?

You'd think they'd want to make the children of the world happy because then they'd make more money, more happy kids, more happy kids telling their friends how fun it is, yet more happy kids playing their games, so they'd make more money by keeping kids happy 0  out of 1 found this valuable.

True, but that would take a while. They'd rather make money immediately via advertisements. Then once one game dies out, they make another one and cram that one with ads too. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?
