This game is just like the board game on a screen. I like catan. It reminds me of those cosy evenings with the family - in denmark - sitting next to a stove - around a table with catan built upon it.

However this version of the game and the way they charge money for it makes me feel like a very old cow that has been molken for decades.

Multiple things I absolutely hate about this game and the greediness of the devs / USM / whomever:

You cannot change the winning points needed for the game. You need to buy the game. Ok.

You want to buy the addons collection for 1300 catan gold?
Yea go buy multiple bunches of gold (2x 500 -> 6€ each + 1x 300 -> 3,5€ each -> 15,50€ total) to have the exact amount needed or
get more (like 1x 900 for 9€ each and get 1x 500 to have 100 gold in spare that are completely useless -> 15€ total) or
get even more (2x 900 for 9€ each) to have something in spare to waste for inka addon. Well, direct buy would end up in less margin for sales.

But once I got those addons, I fired up a lobby with seafarer addon just to realise it refuses to invite my friend saying he does not have the addon (he needs to throw money at the devs also), like what the hell?
Furthermore I'm still not able to select maximum round time (in case the bots end up in a loop of fallasleepism), not able to select the amount of points needed to win, still not able to set peace mode for the robber in a lobby with a vanilla player. Well, are you serious?

I like catan, the board game and all memories I'm glad nobody can take away from me.

But this experience makes me feel deeply molken, like the devs give a bloody damn about their players nowadays and all they want and aim for is pure cash the most dirty way. C'mon, not even Ubisoft is this dirty.

I would totally refund if I could, oh wait, USM did exclude this when buying catan gold.
Yea USM, you got my disrespect for these methods.
