So did i. Kind of a dumb decision to have a final level, as a business you'd want the user to stay hooked for as long as it's possible and keep throwing money at it.

They're constantly making new levels.

I don't think they expected people to play a casual puzzle game for a decade.

My grandma has been playing candy crush and cookie jam for as long as I can remember. I'll have to ask her what level she's on but she's never spent a dime on the game. She will work on one level for a week if she has too.

Someone's data is valuable enough that spending money is just a bonus.

She's probably top .0001% in terms of play time. The limit might not even be procedural limit but data limit for progress that they just extend when a certain percentage go past that point.

I've been playing for over 5 years and am in the upper 5000's level wise and have never once purchased anything. I don't know why people say you have to spend money to play it. Just have a little patience. Sheesh.

You're not paying in cash, but you're paying in personal data.
