> Clash of Clans recently made changes to make the troops cheaper, cutting in to their revenue.

I doubt it.

The problem with all of these games is that they are highly dependent upon the .01% of the whales who spend huge amounts of money on the games. CoC was, somehow, noted for being a playtoy for rich, bored Arabs with oil money.

Progression in these games is HIGHLY dependent upon spending money. One clan founder I know in CoC has stolen almost 5 times the amount of gold as the current number 1 player in the world yet still hasn't cracked into the last level of the game (Level 11 Town Hall).

Yeah. Money sink.
