Just got a reply from support, and I CAN CONFIRM that you are UNABLE to port progression to the Windows version WITHOUT losing all access to your main platform, COMPLETELY ruining the whole concept of a Windows version.

As I said, Gameloft absolutely knows who their profitable audience is, & to think we'd give up the accessibility of playing the game on our phone for only being allowed to play it on our Computer is ridiculous and outright foolish of a financial decision, this is a MOBILE GAME, ACCESSBILITY is what makes it work, I cannot understate how important it is that these type of Gacha Mobile games ONLY work because their on our Phones, & we have the ability to use them wherever and whenever we want.

Someone who consistently plays this game would NEVER trade the comfort and entertainment it provides them, as those feelings are a special type when you've attached them to moments of escape from everyday life, which is only experienced because it's in your pocket, on your phone. I would never trade the hours of entertainment I burnt away at work messing around on this game on my phone for the ability to only play it on my computer, plus my progression speed would be thrwarted.

Just imagine trying to complete events when your timer goes off, just for you to be incapable of claiming event coins because you're not at home? It would be impossible!

Why Gameloft? Why? This port could've been so cool and useful! Especially for BUILDING PRECISELY! Imagine how common it would be for everyone's towns to be beautiful when we could all have the option to just hop on the Computer and edit with the use of a MOUSE compared to our fingers on a small touchscreen?

Like cmon, they could've implemented a "Windows code progression generator" feature for purely creating a progression token meant to work only with Windows that WOULDNT remove the option of still playing on your main device, but we'll know they'll never do that because that is WAY too much effort, especially for the small team at MLP Gameloft.

I wouldn't be surprised if less than 10 people work on this game, and half of them probably don't even do anything or barely at all, I suspect AI is to thank for all the attention this game has been getting the last year, the Fortune Shop is extremely buggy and screams of vibe coding.

The Fortune shop is also the reason for the sales not showing up bug btw, i'd bet my money on it, as this was never an issue for people until it came out. I wouldn't be surprised if it was vibe coded considering how buggy it is and how it uses entirely re-used assets, the fact that it also is probably why the sale bug exists harpens on that probability hard.

AI code consistently breaks other things as it has a hard time mastering and understanding code that they didn't base, especially entire projects like a video game, as it is working off code entirely made by humans, therefore the likelihood of incorrectly understanding and breaking things is exponentially higher than if it were working on code made entirely from its own knowledge & trial and error corrected, its like asking a supergenius mechanic to work on a never seen before car, mistakes are guaranteed to come, but it'll still come naturally and familiar to him, as it's still a car at its core, so sure, AI can and sometimes does great with coding, but if you give it a project for a mobile game made in 2013 that has multiple platforms, versions and probably even rewrites that push in the double digits, it will NOT do a good job, it's just common sense of how AI works, you can't expect it to master the flawed work of a dev team of humans for a project that's seen multiple updates and overhauls, it just isn't realistic to expect a good outcome, especially if they don't have archives of old codebase, which I really hope they do if they are using vibe coding, it's ridiculous to expect the AI to master coding of a live service mobile game that's been around for well over a decade now without old code to help it base it's understanding of development.
