It does appear selective in that not all teams are affected, some are are affected for part of the event, whilst other are affected for the entire event. | a list of ongoing problems | 1: 2 Street Assault events where some teams were locked out. | Its reached a point where Gree refuses to take any responsibility for any issues, and seems to expect that if players are unhappy they should be refunded by either Google or iTunes. | No matter how many times players notified Gree that the problems were occurring Gree has failed to address the issue or compensate players for money spent to that point. Now one needs to spend money just to participate in events, some of which are structured so they are impossible to complete. At one time players spent money to assist / reduce time needed to complete an event. | The game is promoted as ‘free to play’ and it used to be so. | The game Crime City is a flawed product and it seems beyond the ability of Gree to fix the problems it has either unknowingly or deliberately created. Here is a list of many others: | This list of some of ongoing problems experienced by players of the Crime City game throughout 2015.
I have sent in an e-mail for a refund of gold (44,000) for that battle with no real response from gree. In this one battle I had used 44,000 in gold and at 3 minutes left in the battle while we were ahead, most of my team including me suffers game crashes, and the other team doesn’t and ends up winning.
The winner gets control points that increase your overall score in the 4 day battle. It was a 30 minute battle to see you can score the most on a particular node. For one example in one event call Street Assault I with my team were in a battle with another team. | Gree also provides an unfair advantage by providing a sever lag to certain players. It’s only by chance that you win and thus having you spends an unknown amount of gold until you finally win. They run events that you need to use gold for prizes and are not guaranteed the prize. The cost of gold is very high and most players are forced to spend thousands just to stay competitive.
#Crime city game unethical case for free#
When Crime City first came out you could play for free as advertised, but over the years they soon make you addicted (without any warning in their terms of service that this may happen) to the game and make all the events in the game unachievable without using lots of gold. Gree has set up this game almost exactly like a gambling game. I along with thousands of other players play Crime City by Gree.
