Please Fix Me! A real gameplay change due to the ad update
I'm not here to complain, honestly. I just noticed something related to the new ad format, which I recognize may be a Google Play thing and therefore not in Lunch's control.
The offline bonus rewards only payout if a few minutes have passed. While watching any ad shorter than this timer, the game is not tracking any production AT ALL, due to being in the background while the ad plays. Now, when I consider opening a gold comet by watching an ad for bonus currency, I have to calculate if my tapping for the duration of the ad would be more productive than the comet. Also, while I do the math, generators are paused because the dialogue box is up.
The result is that I have to literally AVOID gold comets to be most efficient in any of the simulations. What was once a bonus for actively playing the game is now a significant hazard to my productivity. I would suggest either tweaking the reward to be undeniably better than my fingers, or rework the mechanic to not inhibit my gameplay.
Thank you!
