At the top of the page, you'll note Gree's one year return is an ode to the 2008 financial crisis.

Half way down the page shows the income statement. Just look at the line representing profit margin. Wow... Anyone up for some skiing?

Kamikaze stuff Danny. Makes you wonder when they'll pull the plug on the game.

... this latest change to Gold bonuses is the extra reason I needed to get back to free gaming.

Thanks for saving me USD2000 p/m Gree. You're the best.

Those games can be traded and sold back, as can the system itself. Not to mention its a blu Ray, Internet machine with the ability to do so much more...

Tapping into submission here...

I feel bad for all the friends I have met in CC that seem to keep getting screwed by GREE. Great post DannyD.

This game is very fun, but watching its management is like watching a train wreck.

Stfu. 10-0 Loser! 👊👊😂😂

If you agree to this you do it because you do not have an option. So please do not expect too much applause for your genorosity of not cancelling the whole program.

But how can you announce such a substantial change on the 9th? You know excatly that people bought gold already and some did it to hit a certain tier. The lucky ones are those who spend not more than 500$ or those who spend 10,000$. The latter seem to be a minority...

You have been bashed for poor customer support in the past but this is a new level to say F**K you to your customers.

good luck GREE, you will need it with your business sense...

A&F and CJ you have not explained why the tiers have been changed...is it because GREEs financial situation? You will loose a lot of players because of this. Perhaps that's what you want? CC has an old platform and you have a lot of new games...you want CC to die and the players to move to other games.

But I have quitted the games so I don't really care any more...but for the remaining CC community this is a heavy blow.

For the record Gree claim they can change the bonus program at any time so you have to think whats next. According to the terms of service when you download the game on iphone and android they can also remove all your items from the game, ban you from the game, remove the gold on hand as well without any notice or reason specified.

Makes you wonder what is next.

They're giving away less gold for free, obviously. Someone decided this was important to the bottom line.

That's it, I bought enough gold to get what I thought would be a decent bonus. Now it's a rubbish bonus. At some point soon I will take a deep breath and uninstall this game from my phone. I'll have withdrawal symptoms for a few days but then I can get back to spending my time and money doing more interesting and productive things.

Fight Club can then spend all the money they want fighting the free players.
