“Since Playtika buying Wooga and the founder of Wooga stepping out of the picture after their agreed upon 1 year transition contract, June’s Journey aka JJ has become nothing more than a source for this Corporation to take advantage of it’s loyal fan base & show what Corporate Greed really is. I am one of those loyal fans until now. We deal with all forms of Corporate greed in our actual real lives. Most players of JJ like myself use JJ as a form of escape from our reality and some use it to help them recover from medical ailments or afflictions. When JJ was first introduced, it targeted an age demographic where a high percentage of this age bracket is or will be on a fixed income. As I was not a player when it first come out in 2017, I have done my research and going d this to be the case. Then Wooga, once bought by Playtika but still had the founder of Wooga still working for them started making small tweaks to the game that started attracting a younger demographic, I bring one of them. I found and started playing JJ in February 2019. In tge beginning I Loved this game; so much so that my family had to really pry me away. I have since learned balance. In 2020 at the start of the pandemic, Wooga introduced a part of the game that brought the JJ community together in a unique way by having teams if you chose to be a part of that game. They made it exciting & thrilling and offered substantial prizes to make it worth one’s time to do this part of the game. Then they found that the JJ community was amassing large amounts of free resources through the introduction of this aspect and decided they needed to curb it. So they made a huge change and we as a JJ community balked so badly they reversed it. With that started coming small changes to get us to dig into our amassed resources some but I was ok with that; after all, a company is there to make somewhat of a profit. But now they have made another drastic change to blatantly get us to spend money on a highly coveted commodity of the game, diamonds in order for us to be able to have successful, competing teams. And like most teams, I’m on a team where we have become like family. And in this family, there are those less fortunate to be able to have expendable income to be put in the position of having to buy this commodity. So I’m speaking out and taking a stand for not only my teammates but all in the JJ community that are in this situation. Please make changes to our bush gifting so that we still have the ability to move them, give more of them and the originals diamond value that we previously had. I do have the expendable income to spend but will not do so until you make changes. You get enough revenue from our Ad watching and those of us that Choose to spend. A disheartened fan.”

“Playing JJ was a relaxing fun experience. The new bushes scenario has been my games demise. On SS I cannot afford to play the game the way I used to. JJ was even in my monthly budget! I adored the artwork and the story, but now can no longer afford to play your free game. Sad and disappointed I regretfully leave the game. :(”

“The new bush system is horrible. They cost more to give out and the reward is not equal to amount you have to spend for the bush or plant. Our competitive team on June’s journey did not play in this weekends comp and probably will not participate in future events. It’s not worth it.”

“In the last few weeks the undertone of June’s Journey has changed from game of dedication and strategy to a game of gambling on chance. I HATE gambling. Taking away our only free and dependable source of diamonds in an amount to barely complete normal monthly play is going too far. The additional bushes were great if they didn’t become gambling tokens. Terrible.”

“I want my diamonds back. You tried this before and failed. How dare you take away out diamonds then charge 400 diamonds for a decoration.”

“In June's Journey, they have taken away our only dependable source of diamonds which is our main way to secure more energy to play the game. That source was bushes that we exchanged with fellow players for a set amount of diamonds. They have replaced those bushes with others that give random items, seldom diamonds. I would appreciate the return of our diamond bushes.”

“It's really maddening how you took away our only sure way of getting diamonds. What idiot came up with this asinine decision? You're going to lose a lot of players unless you give us back our diamond bushes. And making them movable to hide the fact that you're screwing us. Nice try. We aren't falling for it.”

“The change of bush system has had a highly negative effect on the game. It was a reliable way of getting diamonds. You have taken this away order to entice people to pay for diamonds. Shame on you!”

“Extremely unhappy with the new bush exchange system. The old bushes were the only reliable source of diamonds that helped all players contribute to their teams. I used to be able to count on 10-14 diamonds per day. Since the new bushes a week ago, I have seen exactly 2 diamonds. You have destroyed the team experience. I have enjoyed playing June's Journey since its inception, and you have ruined what used to be a fun game. Shame on you!”

“The cost to play June’s Journey has increased greatly with the changes to obtaining diamonds while playing the game. Wooga has gotten greedy!! Giving bushes to team members and serving coffee are not working for our team.”

“The new bush system gives me a ton of junk but few diamonds, as opposed to the old system where I had guaranteed return of 14/day. There are too many gambling elements too like STB, FF, changing out tasks, etc. that I find telling of Playtika's preference. Too many sub games, near constant DL and pressure has lessened my enjoyment for this game. My response is spend no money and play less. My team is totally boycotting May 2. We also have decided to play fewer comps and not reach Sherlock anymore. I would advise new players to find another game where owners are responsive and listen to customers.”

“I would give less than one star if I could. This company has ruined what was really an enjoyable game. It has become like a job with the amount of time one has to invest to get anywhere in the 'job' (game). It is a job whereby you pay your employers instead of being paid by them.”

“Playtika took a game that I once enjoyed playing, and completely destroyed it. They have turned a game that I used to help improve my memory, and turned it into gambling. If anyone wants to gamble, just go to the casino. I have zero interest in gambling, therefore I’ve lost interest in the game that was once so much fun. I’ve met a lot of wonderful people while playing, and that’s why I haven’t deleted the app from my phone… but that day is coming. Competitions are no longer fun to play because they have made it impossible to win. Teams can no longer function the way that they used to because they took away our resources to help each other, and I think Playtika failed to realize that this is what kept people interested in the game to begin with. The teams coming together is the only reason this game has lasted beyond their destruction. Bringing the game back to what it used to be would be in their best interest. The fact that they try to control your every move via AI is creepy AF too.”

“The recent changes to the bush giving feature of the game have greatly diminished the ability to progress and enjoy the game. Other than this issue it's been a wonderful game...my favorite until this recent change.”

“Playtika has ruined this game when they took over. Overmonetizing every aspect of the game and turned it to a "gamblin-like" game. The only reason why they're able to retain players is due to the relationships formed through group-related play.”

“The game is fun however the company who owns is trying to make players spend money to play. Recently they changed the system of giving bushes so that you have to spend more coins to purchase and lessen the chances of getting diamonds. This I believe is so you will buy packages to get diamonds. Not sure I will continue playing this game”
