God I hate this game so much.

This expression is just wrong, though I'm with you. I don't hate it, but quite dislike it and don't think it deserves its sales especially considering how much effort most developers put into their games and yet fail to sell even 1m.

Yep, this game doesn't deserve like this kind of success to be honset because they are milking the game and taking the advantage of the consumers in every platform. There are so many developers who worked very hard in creating games than this game developers but they fail to earn money at all which is very sad. People is not appreciating the hardwork these days and they will only if they satisfy them otherwise they are letting developer to die(he made risks for the people to create something good but he failed a little. However, people should support him as much as possible instead of bashing th game is worse based on reviewrs or something else). This developer is purely out of luck which he made a game everyone likes and milks it to get more out of it.

See, I don't see any milking going on. Had they released an ultimate edition or tons of expensive dlc (I don't know if they have), then fair enough. Bringing it to more platforms is not milking. But I do think that the reason is selling so much is hype. Just like Candy Crush. It became mainstream so everyone wants to try it. I consider the developers very lucky. This could have been one of the many indie games with a cool idea which don't sell much at all.
