Oh, great! Obey me! Nightbringer suddenly wants me to turn off developer mode.

My phone works like potato with animations and other stuff on so I guess I am not playing anymore (unless they fix it).

Also, It is MY phone and I can maybe agree not to root it for banking app (for now). But not even having developer optionss on? What a joke.

Oh well, so I guess this is their official statement:

It's not a bug, it's a feature! 😠

Bye bye Obey me! 👋

After my further inquiry.

Yeah, "aspect of the game design" indeed.

That's why they suddenly introduced that in update without any info beforehand, right? Right? 😠

Also nothing in google play patch notes even now :)

Not shady at all :)

@shippingqueen What does developer mode do?
Show threadHoe Chin 🦋May 26, 2023
@kimchitea Depends what user needs. I personally mostly use it for turning off animations and stuff but there are also some monitoring/debugging options (ram usage etc.), options to simulate color space (e.g.for color blind people) and many more.

@shippingqueen That sounds useful. I guess they think it's being used to avoid microtransactions? But if you can't use it for legit purposes I'm sure you can just find a cracked version as a workaround, so shooting themselves in the foot there.

@shippingqueen They did walk back the Developer Mode change mostly. But the "aspect of game design" seems to be their default response with every OBMNB bug I have e-mailed about. The unable to view Chats? An aspect of game design :-/
