The developers finally backed down and killed those mandatory invite walls for good. It took all of us refusing to play their game to force them to stop treating our friend lists like marketing inventory. Stay alert because these predatory tactics always find a way to crawl back.

No, I will NOT invite 20 friends just to add your application! Are you sick of spending time adding a new application and then discovering that you are required to invite 20 friends before you can do anything with it Maybe if enough people stay away from these apps (or remove them) the developers will get the idea - if the app is good enough people will invite their friends of their own free will, the way it should be. *** YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DONATE *** IT\'S YOUR SIGNATURE WE WANT, NOT YOUR MONEY ***

One hundred people have finally had enough of this forced invite garbage. These developers are treating us like marketing tools and it stops now.

Its so annoying logging on and seeing 50 game requests. Stop forcing us to do your marketing for you.

STOP WITH THE SPAM. Nobody wants to invite 20 people just to unlock a feature.

This makes me block the app immediately. Developers need to get a clue.

I delete every single app that tries this. If your game is good you dont need to force people to spam their friends list.
