I donāt have time to read and complain here, since I can play now 24/7 without any limitations by timer. So for the record: I like the update
I see all the complaining here, and I get it, such a major change to the game is going to affect people in different ways, a heads up tutorial outside the game of how it was going to work would have placated many I think. But alasā¦
But letās put this into perspective for a minute. While this game needs to appeal to as many people as possible, there is an overriding requirement above all player happiness, and thatās for it to make money. Unless the devs are multi millionaires, which I doubt, they need revenue, there are tons of costs we donāt see. They have to pay themselves of course, thereās server costs, license and royalties, and letās not forget Apple takes 30% of whatever we buy alone.
And there is the big oneā¦ NO ADSā¦ I canāt tell you how rare that is, and I applaud the devs for not only supplying a great game but not bombarding us with ads every 30 seconds is frankly amazing.
Are there issues with the game, of course, but this is a very complex game because as I have said elsewhere itās designed to be 2 things. airport management and airline management, trying to blend those two is hugely difficult.
The devs are extremely responsive and fair play to them for that, UATC for example were horrible at responding to anything.
Back to revenue, the way these games are designed is to attract you with it being free (nothing is truly free). If you do not want to pay any real money, fine, but itās going to take you a long time to get there and thatās the point, to encourage you to spend the money to further the game. Many of those complaining (not all) are likely in the free category, if you are not and still have issues, thatās fine too, this isnāt a one size fits all reply. The game was honestly too easy for many, now not so much.
So what the devs have done here is change up the game with what I like to call carrot and stick.
Carrot: tons of new airlines, destinations etc. gives the bigger players more to do. IAD to open everything is going to cost something like 16m without planesā¦
Stick: costsā¦ buy slots, buy destinations, buy aircraft, for many of the newbies creating Wās is hard, but thatās the point, the devs WANT to make it hard, so that you will see $11.99 for 50 gold planes and 500k in cash, for newer players that can go a long way.
Honestly I would say to the devs, create some bigger GP packages, maybe $20, $30 and $50, you would be surprised how many folks would be interested in buying those. Talk to the guys that make Trainstation in Bratislava, I bet they can give you some great data on package purchases to assist. That game has been going 8+ years.
To close, people donāt like change, whether itās games, facebook, life but itās going to happen whether you like it or not. Iāve seen plenty who love this update, plenty who donāt and some are frustrated because of the lingering bugs with access etc.
People react differently and thatās ok, but remember what this is about, itās not about your personal feelings itās about building additional revenue streams to make this game continually viable, if they donāt make the money, it will die. Just search around the app stores sometimes for the games that have failed there are so many,
So please, take the time to buy some GPās use them to help you speed things up a little and letās allow the devs to build on top of what we have already received.

Where can I find the train station Game??
You will find it on the AppStoreās (android and Apple).
There are in fact 2 versions. I played the first one for over 6 years, it was a great game to play. I stopped because of some life issues and couldnāt get back to it.
Whatās it called actually??
You are right. I agree fully to all you said. Especially the āno adsā situation makes this game so nice. Itās one of the reasons I also spent real money into this game.
I also was one of the ācomplainersā because I donāt play this game long enough to be one of the billionaires who plays since the game came out.
I already had some money to send the planes I have to maintenance and still have some money in the pocket. Now itās all gone for buying a few destinations and arrivals.
But complaining time is over. I now have some arrivals in my airports, was able to sort out airlines I never wanted on my airport and the money comes back ā¦ just a bit slower this time.
ā¦ and I like this new minigame so much ā¦ I need bigger fleets on my airport
UATC actually responds to anything?
