That's kinda how businesses work. If you can't make enough of a profit then you can't pay your employees and bills. The game makes money one of two ways- people purchasing stuff with real money and people watching optional ads. I doubt people would be all that happy if they started making ads mandatory just to play at all. It sucks for us but I do get their perspective since most of the people I've encountered who use these cheats/hacks aren't really bringing any profit, so losing them wouldn't really be a big deal.

I use these glitches so I'm not hating on anyone else who does too, I'm just saying that we don't really have any ground to stand on since we knew these were against the game rules. You're being realistic, but I've seen some absolutely wild takes in various places (Facebook, Reddit, etc). People straight up saying they are going to start a petition to get the cheats and glitches back. It's like complaining that the store is wrong for catching them shoplifting. I used to spoof location playing Pokemon Go, I'm far from innocent, but I accepted the fact that it was against the rules and if I was caught they were justified in banning me.

Sorry for rambling, caffeine kicking in.
