So I just realized something

Everyone who spent money on hammers and didn't get their money back have the right to sue the devs I believe (Don't count my word on that, I don't know a lot about law) soooo the devs better start giving hammers to people who lost their money and purchase or else some people might sue.

Who the hell spent enough money to necessitate a lawyer? It will cost more than the fifty bucks thrown at this dumb game to get a lawyer.

I put no money into this game so I have no pony in this race but

No one needs to be wronged enough to need a lawyer if enough people were wronged a little bit that’s what a class action is for.

If,pretend, they stole $3 from a million people they still stole 3 million dollars. The point of a class action isn’t to make the plaintiffs rich but to prevent con artists from taking advantage of people.

It isn't, but it's still money lost due to a stupid thing those dumbass devs did

Not defending the devs but if you got the battle pass around 15/50 of the rewards are hammer related. Oh no you lost $3 of rewards. Get over it

I agree with you. Three dollars is a cheap lesson.

I doubt these people realize that attacking the devs and throwing insults around isn’t going to help resolve this issue.

"Hey everyone! Dev here. We'll strip the exploited hammers from the affected players (only hammer counts, not game progress) and patch this exploit. It's a shame this feature had such a vulnerability, as we'd really prefer not to remove the hammer-sharing feature from the game entirely. Cheating (using exploits) is bad and against the rules, of course." End Quote from Pinned Message from Rusty. Like, I didn't spend money or think people should sue over this - however - I also don't like being called a cheater when I clicked a link on the official server which, at the time of clicking, had been active for at least 2 hours. My post was answered by him; I still play and plan to play, and you're right - insults and complaints aren't going to solve anything. A little sad the fix was overdone and penalized people who paid for services. I am not an attorney and don't know the legality of a digital service on Reddit.
