While O haven't played their games in particular, it is my experience that this business model (while apparently very profitable) produces horrible games.

The games will try hard to create an addiction, so the player keeps on playing, while making the actual gameplay as boring as possible to make the players buy gems/berries/coins to bypass the actual gameplay.

I have played some games like this, and I noticed how i would keep on playing the same boring parts (with some fun threwn in occasionally to keep m interest up) over and over in the hope of finally getting to the fun part. But it never came. It made me feel exploited and violated.
