I love how suspicious you are, finally someone whose ability to anticipate the worst matches my own. :lol: Let's just hope we're wrong, huh? Maybe they've just come to their senses after so many greedy tricks and all. ... specially the last one with 4 keys/box. MAybe that's their way of apologising? C:

Maybe tallying all the actions was hard on their system. Or alternately, they found relatively few players were participating as everyone expected to get the prizes whether they did or not.

you're right, that sounds very likely. however, the idea of them just shoving the prizes into our faces as an equivalent of a giant plastic please-forgive-us grin pleases me more. ^^

My thoughts on the challenges, changes to the mystery boxes, the appearance of online store packs that cost SP or LP instead of real dollars...these are all just ways to get eyeballs on the online store and potentially get people to see things they might spend real dollars on. Since we have to go into the online store and purchase our prize for 1 simoleon, when they've never had issues pushing prizes directly to us in the home store or the wardrobe before now, it seems pretty blatant to me.

I'm not necessarily against it. Things like this are more tolerable to me than them making things so difficult or tedious that we are compelled to spend money on currency (obviously they do plenty of that already). But then, I think I have pretty good impulse control when it comes to seeing things that I could spend money on but really shouldn't. Obviously I'm not the type of person they're targeting with this.
