Spite & Malice - Classic Game

The free version of this game includes three choices of skill level — easy, medium, and hard. The paid version includes a fourth level called “spiteful,” which I assumed meant it would be extra hard. But after having paid for it, I’m wondering if it really means, “We will take your money just to spite you.” I signed up for the paid version because the “hard” level on the free version had become too easy. But in the “spiteful” version, the app makes frequent, idiotic moves which allow me to win. It plays cards which would be considered amateur moves. It doesn’t play cards that would block me from winning. Basically, the app just lets me win a lot of the time. I didn’t pay for a more difficult version so that the app would let me win. Also, the paid version includes all of the same annoying advertisements as the free version includes. There is no way to take ads out of this game, even if you pay for it. I understand that app developers need to earn money somehow. But if they are going to charge money, they need to provide something of substance to the people who support them. I feel cheated.

I’ve only had this game a week or so but I find myself drawn to it. It’s not a hard game to play, but it’s challenging enough to stay interesting. Update: still playing! Still loving it 🥰
