Ape Apps

this isn't a concern but why is premium a thing in the game? like people might be wanting to install mods, build up a region, and/or make their colony look cool. and some people are maybe kids (like me), and are using their school computer and won't even be able to get it (again like me). oh, and since I'm using my school computer I can't get ape coins. so I'm wondering if premium can get removed and have a way to get ape coins like achievement points and unlocking research. and also maybe let the colony community make buildings that require ape coins. please and thank you

It's because this is a business and not a charity, and selling Premium is how I feed my family.

I wish that this was something better understood by the general population of today. I understand how the mobile app market gives this illusion that games should be "free," but there is always a catch somewhere. Nothing is truly free in this world, and if Bast can not support developing his projects, then there will not be any more fun for anyone here.
