Hello, I need to talk to you about something important.
It seems that, in the past few days, Cheritz has finally started banning those who were using cheats to take advantage of the game and get HG and chatrooms without paying Cheritz (which is called “stealing” by the way). Some of these people have started a petition with currently 600+ signatures to get Cheritz to unban them despite their actions to take profit from the company illegally and unfairly.
I and my network do not support this petition or these actions.
I personally am disgusted at how people feel the right that they can ask a small game company in Korea, who have been nothing but generous with how much compensation and free routes they give us, to continue giving free passes to users who were taking advantage of them.
Cheritz is just a small company, working with a customer base of at least 1 million. They have been nothing but helpful and supportive, listening to people’s issues and having an amazing customer service and constantly giving out compensation for every update. They gave us 3 routes for free when other companies would have made people pay for all 5, not just Deep and after/secret ends. The HG costs, which people constantly complain about, is so little compared to the costs of mobile game companies such as Voltage or Solmare (Voltage doesn’t allow you to even read the routes for free, and Solmare’s free games, if you want to go faster, makes you pay $1.50 PER TICKET to play an episode, and an episode is even shorter than a chatroom). Cheritz doesn’t even run ads; they have no revenue besides HG costs. Which means that when people are using cheats to not buy HG and play the game for free, they are directly robbing the game makers of their wages to live/eat/pay their bills.
Again, we do not support the ones making this petition or giving one star to Cheritz on the app reviews, because they are cheating to take advantage of and demanding that a small game company make the game completely free, therefore they are not welcome in this fandom.
Cheritz need to pay their employees to eat, live, pay their bills, and continue developing the game and more games in the future too.
Please support Cheritz and not the cheaters.
