Warframe and Splitgate have been the ONLY games I've seen to do microtransactions correctly. And not a single mobile game has done them correctly. the problem isn't the existence of microtransactions. the problem is the severe limitations on a players experience when they don't spend money. Every game that has a shitty lootbox of "x Star" Characters are a prime example of this.
Nice try on being the valiant knight but I promise you companies do not care about the individual nor do they even remotely care about you coming to their aid. I can only hope that Reactivate will be a proper AAA title that doesn't shut down and stop updating after 2-3 years. As it stands. We have yet to get a GOOD TF mobile game, and I doubt we ever will

Then don't use your phone. What exactly is wrong with microtransaction ? Do you think they should spend months coding , building a game then give you it for free? Do you think server run for free. Literally no one is forcing you to buy anything in the app. Furthermore since you don't have a apple phone you don't even know what MT are there for you so say filled to the brim. Like I don't know why do many fans have turned in to entitled customers.
What you said Is the equivalent of walking in to a clothing shop and saying , I'm sick of seeing women's clothing ,it's trash . Filled to the brim with skirts and shoes.
You see how ridiculous that sounds

Apple exclusive? Trash.
Filled to the brim with microtransactions? Also Trash.
Sick of seeing mobile games.

Bold choice to release a Clash Royale clone in this day and age. I would check it out, but I\'ve always sucked at CR.

Or there's this thread
It's been a fun game, however it was clearly designed to have micro transactions. It never worked with the Arcade model.
Hopefully it finds a bit of life out from behind the paywall.

It\'s not even available in the region as well

I have no interest in the game itself, but dang that music cover was amazing!

I was about to get upset that this was Apple only abd then I watched the gameplay. Meh, they can have it.

Only Apple? Better get porting…
Curium
I'd be interested in the game itself, but I have no interest in supporting Apple products.

I'll check it out. Wish it were on Android too so I could play on my phone. I am much less invested in playing on the ipad.

I played this back when I had an Apple Arcade free trial. It was pretty fun honestly. Nothing major.
THE-TRANSFORMER
It's pretty quiet in here. I imagine that's because it's an Apple Arcade game stuck behind a paywall?
An update just came out with three new "cards".
Arcee (common)
Sunstreaker (common)
Moonracer (rare)
Moonracer is a sniper and the "best sharpshooter in the universe"… based on that I'm pretty upset they didn't use Sureshot.
Sunstreaker is a ranged AOE.
Arcee is a bit of a generalist.
Arvegtor
Youtube videos of the game are starting to appear, so it's probably out.
BigBlueLuke
Looks good! I’ll play that!
