Hello everyone!
I have actually registered here to share my opinion and disappointment about the abolition of the Golden Ticket and the introduction of the Fashion Pass.
Having heard about some users that experience this change weeks ago, it was clear to me, that this might happen any time soon to all users - and now it unfortunately became reality.
Now I am also affected and so are all my family members and friends, even those who have never bought the ticket before.
I see how Township is becoming more and more about Match3. I came for the process management game and the building simulation; I accepted that this Match3 game is attached to the game and partially integrated, just like the adventure game which is about removing obstacles. Quite nice, but thankfully not the main focus. With the Fashion Pass, the whole thing is already clearly shifting towards Match3. You could see it coming over the last few weeks and months if you have been watching PlayTrix's experiments, but it is a shame that they have really decided to go through with it now.
Sooner or later that will be it for me with Township - if I want to play Candycrush, I will download Candycrush and that's that. I have no interest in getting forced to play Candycrush through the back door. It would be interesting to know whether PlayTrix makes more or less money as a result of the changeover. But I'm afraid the majority of people out there are into Match3 and are bringing in the money.
Very sad...
