Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mark W**a" data-source="post: 49474" data-attributes="member: 1196">Joking aside, let me take the time right now to form a real, articulated response to rotstik:First of all, good review.  It's well written and articulate.  The kickstarter issues, most definitely real.  People being charged to restore their purchases, I've read instances of that happening, and I myself have had a bug where I had to redownload tables (without charge) on several occasions.  High scores reset with staggering regularity... I assume this is referring to peoples local leaderboards resetting?  No such issues here but I've read about that.  The online leaderboards, to my knowledge, aren't reset often so your wording choices here might give people the wrong idea.  As for the closing, it's hyperbolic and damning but I find myself doing the same thing when I dislike something, I tend to use those devices and it's your opinion and I respect that.As for this fanboy lead conspiracy.  It's not like that.  Fact is one day I went to the reviews and I saw the following: 1 star for "lack of portrait mode", 1 star for "should cost a dollar".  That's why I made this thread in the first place.  Had the 1 and 2 star reviews been as intelligent and actually calling out real issues such as yours, I'd have never said a damn thing.  However thinking back on this now, Farsight are the ones who shipped the buggy interface, it's not necessarily peoples fault they can't figure out the portrait mode.  Jeff pointed this out to me, and in retrospect, basically insinuating people are stupid when it's Farsight's fault for poor design, was a little short sighted on my end.  In retrospect, Farsight deserves the criticism and the reviews.And while I find that throwing an entire app under the bus with a 1 star review over one little flaw is, for lack of a better word, retarded, that's how people are and I can't change that.  Again, there are TONS of flaws with the game, and tons of bugs, tons of super valid complaints and if that's what was being talked about on the app store, you'd have never heard a peep out of me.  This thread would have never existed in the first place.At the end of the day, after this thread was made, there were some funny "pownage" reviews posted, there were some informative "counteract the stupid" reviews posted, and there were some "teaching ethics" reviews posted to the .99 cent crowd.  I asked you guys to step up and you did, that was awesome of you.  Thank you.  This was never about padding the reviews, this was about powning idiots.</blockquote>
