RebornDan's right. But NK is taking entire chapters out of Glu's playbook. They're essentially the same company at this point.

And Brick, no offense taken here. I'm down to maybe 5 or 6 matches a day; when it first came out, I could veg out on it for hours (and not because I didn't have other stuff to entertain me, I just enjoyed it that much). Apocalypse and LMS are still fun just because of how insane the killery can get, but I've always liked games like that. The rest of it? You're right, totally pointless. Now I just play NM to help n00bs, since it means they'll be less likely to spend money if they get good gear from playing with a Level 100.

And Fredy, I don't need to wish anything on NK. With the way they're managing such a promising intellectual property like SAS4, they'll screw themselves out of more money than they'll ever squeeze out of gullible newbies. I know they have to make money, but they make that from every player that plays online when their ad vendors background download ads onto our devices (NK can then report those ads as delivered to the clients that pay them, so they make that money whether we watch the ads or not). What they're doing now is quite literally insulting to player intelligence.

And believe me, I've communicated these things to them in good faith and with full productive intent. THEY SIMPLY DON'T CARE. They're too lazy to even playtest their updates, EVEN ONCE. ONE GAME of VIP or Power Out would have shown them that the Savage Zombdroids were dropping loot like bosses. And if they DID indeed playtest the NM update, then the change was clearly to punish players for not spending money. Either way, I would have left it because any developer with half a brain would know that pissing off your players is not the best way to get them to open up their wallets. So either they're lazy and incompetent, or they don't mind giving people like you and me the middle finger. Do you really think a company that operates in such a manner DESERVES to remain in business?

I play because NK GOT LUCKY with a good premise like SAS 4, and straight-forward no-frills top-down shooters are one of my absolute favorite genres. But they don't have what it takes to do the game justice. It will always be half the game that it could be simply because they're too dumb to contract it out to a developer that knows what its doing, and they're too lazy/greedy to put any real care into the product. Every player who used to enjoy it should wish bankruptcy on NK, because that would increase the odds of them having to sell the franchise to a decent developer.
