I haven’t played in a long time but IIRC, they increased the value of certain letters. They also changed the design of the board so bonus squares made more of a diamond than an “X.” This allows for a triple letter score + triple word score combo, and a gamebreaking score with a 4-letter word.

Isn’t that what happens anytime someone buys their merchandise?

Yeah. I’ve spent seven months playing Marvel’s Contest of Champions mobile with a few friends. I’ve spent 85 bucks on it, which feels fine for the amount of time I’ve played. 60 of the 85 were for items to level up heroes more quickly.

A-Rod’s Marlins would’ve been twice as valuable but fans would’ve insisted Jeter’s were better

The implication here is that they’d pay above and beyond the cost of repairs to get her to not go forward. Paying for repairs is a nice gesture, but the fiction of “pressing charges” is garbage.
