So much potential wasted due to pure greed

This game has so much potential but it is ruined by pure greed by the developers.

$9.99 for a week of unlimited energy. Seriously?! That is $ 520 a year just for unlimited energy. Seriously?!

75 gold to refill three energy bars. Seriously?!

The developers of this game try to entice players to spend money on energy, by purchasing a week of unlimited energy, or using gold, which you will have to replenish at some point with real cash if you keep burning through it.

It is disgusting how greedy the developers are with this game and all their games.

One game lasts 5 minutes but it takes 50 minutes to refill one energy bar. Disgusting.
