you are wrong, oh so wrong!
compensation is due alright, since people are not able to play the game because of the dev's incompetence.
and when i say compensation, i dont mean money of course, i mean content ingame, because people have lost one event where free content was up for grabs but players were not able to get it because of the dev's incompetence, so yes, players not being able to partake in said events and getting more content should be made whole by receiving content from those events, meaning gens, explorers, buildings and whatnot.
plus, valentines event, the surprise event and possibly the easter event will all be missed, so yes, compensation is most definitely due!!!
