The fact that Halfbrick now wants $100 for a lifetime membership (or $25/year) to their old, free games is absolutely insane. What ever happened to mobile gaming being fun, fast, low pressure, and cheap?

I’m sorry, what the fuck? After SEVEN YEARS, #Halfbrick just released a new update to #FishOutOfWater! (and made it reappear on app store)

I have had it downloaded for a while (since app store lets you redownload previously downloaded apps even if they aren’t available anymore) and it still worked alright-ish, with just a few visual bugs (and the login system didn’t work anymore), but now they fixed it and added a new login system that’s just crazy!! Nothing else seems to be changed, but all my data (achievements, cristals, etc) was reset on the update (😠) and I had to replay the tutorial.

I wonder what made they decide to bring it back, but this game is awesome so as long as they don’t do bad stuff to it I’m happy bc this game is awesome!!
