Major Human Rights’ Violations Taking Place in the Palm of Your Hand

You can probably help too!

Yesterday, I found myself truly living for others by speaking up for the disadvantaged.

There I was, making sure I stayed in bed in order to collect crops for the villagers of a nearby farm. Just by using my phone, I was able to help keep the global economy afloat for one more day. I fed hungry workers and traded goods with the wandering businessmen.

It was difficult, but fulfilling work.

So imagine my devastation when I click on the in-app purchase discount offer, and it doesn’t bother to offer the highest discount.

I was so appalled, I almost vomited right there.

For a print of how human rights’ violations like these make me, and other activists, feel, visit the artist’s Etsy shop (not affiliated with Disco Rat/Discorats)

Things need to change.

We need to expose those who perpetrate these human rights violations.

To do my part, I am sharing the email I sent to the monsters at this company & their chilling response. Here is a transcript of the email, with a copy below:

PLEASE ACTUALLY HELP. DO NOT SEND BACK AN AUTOMATED RESPONSE. I AM EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED WITH YOUR COMPANY.

PLEASE FIX THESE TWO MINOR THINGS:

MAKE MORE GNOMES REQUEST COINS: There is a very very steep decrease in gnomes asking for coins for payment. From a sample, I have calculated that less than 7% request coins as payment. Since I took the screenshots this number percentages has decreased. I have included screenshots for proof.

RESET MY LUCKY COIN ALGORITHM: Since I’ve made a certain number of purchases, your game algorithm NEVER offers over x3 on the “random” lucky coin. I HAVE EMAILED YOU AT LEAST 3 TIMES ABOUT THIS. PLEASE FIX THIS. IT IS NOT RANDOM IF 100% OF THE TIME IT DOES NOT EXCEED X3.

PLEASE ACTUALLY HELP.

Their chilling reply:

After seeing this soulless reply, my fiance felt the need to step in and write them back:

That was 8 days ago.

I have heard nothing back.

Thankfully, the initial shock has passed, now I only hope that after reading this article you are still able to help fight injustices like this in the world.
