Dungeon Keeper Feedback

It's bad enough that they've taken the cult classic timesink and jailed it behind "freemium" payments if you want to play for more than a few minutes at a time. But they went that extra step and rigged the Android feedback system to ensure yet more marks would be suckered into the nostalgia trap.

What I find particularly odious are the responses by their reps. The "optional" pay structure is waved away by the assertion that all of the content is accessible for free, and that the game is intended to occupy only small snippets of time. And this feedback system is justified by the pretense of gathering constructive criticism in order to provide a 5-out-of-5-worthy game. Jackholes.

Oh my sweet death, I turned 40 today.
