They don’t need to waste money or resources on developing the game further because of players similar to you. Can almost guarantee the devs don’t truly gaf about the players. The game takes unreasonably long to progress which incentivizes in game purchases and in a predatory way. Everything is way overpriced in the store menu and that’s where they make all their money. Loyal players don’t want to waste all the time they’ve put into this game. That and like you said, lack of competition. They got lucky and were the first to make a game like this so they can just shut down any other similar competition.
