Where did the free Plat go? TapJoy and Apple

[Samhayne]

I've been seeing people ask about how come there is not a way to obtain free Platinum anymore, so I wanted to post about it.

TapJoy is the company that we worked with to provide the free platinum. It's a deal where you trade your time to download other apps in exchange for some Plat. Apple has issues with this activity and are not approving apps that do this. So, to keep Pocket Legends approved, we turned the TapJoy offer wall off.

As ALS mentioned here

We're working with Tapjoy to figure this out.

Until this gets sorted, there is no Platinum available for spending time downloading other Apps.
