Featured Story: Unexpectedly Expecting

Honestly it’ll probably be the biological child of whichever guy you choose to romance in the end. Just like in life. :roll_eyes:

Yeah, you don’t marry a guy because he’s the father.

Oh my gosh… this story seems interesting. Although, I don’t have this story on the app, I don’t think I’ll read it if it was available for me to read. Don’t even get me started on the 40 gems… that is mind blowing. Why would someone spend 40 dreams on an outfit? That’s crazy.

Nothing makes me exit out of a story faster than stupid gem choices that they try to guilt trip you into by making the other option horrible,
Like, pay 40 gems to wear this dress or go with muddy clothes? Can’t the other option just be for a normal dress instead?
There was this one featured story, Pitch Perfect (I think), where you either had to pay gems for some outfit or audition in a towel.
Come to think of it, that story also had the whole ‘walking in on some guy in a towel’ scene also.
A Tale of Two Hotties? You know a story’s going to be bad when they have the word ‘hottie’ in the title. Just… no.

sixty fcking gems…?

This outfit better be made of Taylor Swifts hair from the age of 15-18, Knighted by Queen Elizabeth the FIRST then transported by my assassins but now they all wear shirts with bad boy Kermit and me twerking. Then to get half of my money’s worth every two weeks the Pope blesses it. And finally every single famous person will kiss it-
Dead or alive I don’t care, they’ll kiss my 60 gem outfit.

Wtf?! I thought 40 was bad. I guess they’re maybe testing to see how much people would actually be willing to pay?
I just looked and 60 gems are $7.99 AUD. For 8 bucks I could buy a lot of things that I would enjoy significantly more than watching a cartoon character that doesn’t even look like me wearing a nicely drawn outfit for one scene.

Exactly! I’d rather go on a Maccas run than buy a 60 gem outfit!

You can almost buy two bottles of passion pop for that :rofl:

Did the people who write this story not think about this? I kinda want to submit a ticket for an explanation because this is just all sorts of wrong

I once asked if a cost-benefit analysis had ever been performed to see if lowering the cost of gem choices could actually bring in more money (because the likelihood that people would actually pay could increase). Apparently the results were inconclusive, but it looks like they’re testing the opposite scenario :upside_down_face:
I live in Mexico. $8 AUD I believe costs more than the minimum daily (not hourly) wage.

So disgusting. I’d rather watch 3 ads then see gem choices

60 gems is a new level of ridiculous. I can sorta see 20. 30 was pushing it and 40 was a joke, but 60?
Who has the money to pay that? This is an app targeted towards teenagers. I’m an adult with a job and $8 for one choice that doesn’t impact anything except two lines of dialogue is ridiculous. That’s almost the cost of my gym membership (Australian one) for a week. A great ass > a pointless gem choice.

I’d compare this to something like a Fortnite skin or emote- But even that’s not a good comparison, because you can actually use the emotes and skins you buy over and over again… rather than just… having your character wear it for a two minute scene…
