People DO support this game and people WILL continue to support this game. For them to backtrack after they have made money on the game would be suicide....people would stop buying with money and use coins...the fc isn't expensive and every single one of us cannot deny that we have in the past and will continue in the future to spend money on frivolous items, things that we have nothing to show for things like coffee, lunch out, cable tv, satellite, movie rentals, basically anything that is not needed for our survival, I see this as being no different. If I can't afford my coffee for a week or 2, is it ok for me to go to teh boss and say "I deserve a free coffee I have been a customer here for years" or whatever you want....If it works nobody is gonna wanna mess with that and clearly people will pay real money to play, in the course of the past 2 years I have put plenty into the game $5 here and $10 there and sometimes $20 here etc etc and I will continue to do so as long as I am able, but if one day I can't do that than I guess it sucks to be me.
Its also not about where we are on the list, who really cares. Does it ruin the game if we are not number 1 but number 600 instead? no. The devs do not win a prize for being number 1, 10, 500 or 1 million. Its a number, a silly number that defines nothing. Any game will be quite popular in the beginning but that number will also fall as it ages....thats normal.
I personally don't care how much the devs make. I might be in awe at times, that I wasn't smart enough to think up a game of this nature but thats all. They created it, they keep it up, they earned every cent they have gotten. Just because people think they have made enough doesn't mean they should be forced to stop making money..when I hear them on the news about being young billionaires because of this game, I will be able to say I helped them get there!!
