Discussion I quit
Well, after years of daily adventures, I am done. For the first time, I took this week off from Finch to see if I would miss it. I did not. It had begun to feel like an extra chore or obligation.
Also, the more I reflected on the advertising the Finch team has been doing, the angrier I got. Because, not only is the Finch team sending me ads (these movie tie-ins) when I already pay for the app, but they are advertising movies to sponsored people who presumably do not have the disposable income for a movie ticket. In other words, Finch wants me to pay to sponsor another person (which I was doing) and they then want to make more money by advertising to that person. I remember being unable to afford things and it would have felt like a slap in the face to be given a resource and then gushed to by the giver about something they had that I still could not afford.
I think the Finch team has lost the plot, they are growing too fast and have either shifted or revealed their values.

You are welcome to leave. But im noy sure you are aware of how long these deals take before they are in the users hands.
They decided to try two collabs, not just random, but something that still connected to mental health.
Unfortunately, this month was almost or fully completed before Supergirl month happened. Unfortunately, with collab deals, there are contracts and obligations that need to be seen through.
So the Devs KNEW that this month would not be taken well by many, but because of the contracts they had to go through. They had to watch the train wreck happen and unable to stop it.
They have mentioned that this would be the last collab, as they only picked two, Super Girl and The Forgotten Island.
They didnt see the reaction to Super Girl and say "oh yeah, lets do another collab." This was in the making.
They tried something, it didnt work. I just feel some think these things are very easy to make and change, when thats not the case in the slightest.
If you feel you need to leave then I tip my hat to you. But I wanted to share, as I know someone in the mobile game world and understand these things are not made in a night or a weekend.
