One of the most irritating things about you guys creating new games these past few years is that they are created specifically as apps and to force people spend real money constantly. At least when you release PC versions, we only have to pay the ONE cost and can play it without constant ads and other junk you add to the apps.

So are you guys EVER going to release PC versions of VF3:OCH and VVDD? Or are you going to continually force people to spend massive amounts of money (paying around thirty times more then the actual cost of the game on PC) on them and still claim they're "free games"?

Heyyy someone from the old LDW days! grin
They have VF3 on Steam but it's exactly like the app version. Actually, it doesn't have the exclusive Family Trip furniture and other stuff from the updates, so it's worse.
(If you're going to make PC versions of mobile games, developers, at least make them have the same features! That's what Minecraft and many other games do!!)

Imagine we had versions of VF3 and VV6 that were more like the old PC games with the sameish artstyle and engine, but with all the new mechanics they have now, like the new puzzles and limited time events. And no microtransactions. frown

I think if they were to release more "PC-but-not-really-PC" games they'd be similar to their mobile versions, minus updates and special events.

Thank you for your feedback on the game.

If you'd like to play a paid version of the game in Windows without ads or optional in-app purchases, you can purchase it in the Microsoft Store:

https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9ph56q21wzf2?hl=en-US&gl=US

This version does require a game controller, as it's designed to be played through Windows and on Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One consoles (a single purchase provides you a license for all of these platforms, with your save game progress retained across all platforms).

Regarding ads in the Steam version and on mobile devices, if you make any in-app purchase, these types of ads will disappear, but you'll still be able to watch optional ads for free currency, when they're available from the third party ad providers!
