Mm, that's a good idea about contacting Gameloft.. I ought to do likewise. "Freemium" isn't evil per se, but ratcheting required payments up to that level is something I'd expect of Zynga. (Whose fortunes are, to everyone's eternal regret, rather less bright than a year or two ago =:)
Maybe I'll give it a shot with some form of tweakage to fix the game as well. As was, I simply fired it up quickly to check what the basic feel of it was like, and it seemed gratifyingly authentic. It wasn't until people started noticing the rather hefty level of payments required, without even grinding being a realistic option, that I became aware of just what Gameloft had done. =:P
