You now require an advanced license to keep certain fish in Texas.

That kinda goes against the spirit of the lake. If i remember rightly it was billed as a free lake to help out players who end up with a negative balance, So by limiting the fish you can catch there and making players pay for an advanced licence seems pretty lame. Its not like the restricted fish earn you massive amounts of cash anyway. Not mention new players who stay there after the tutorial without the slightest clue they need an advanced licence to be able to fully fish the lake.

That's the way I remember it being promoted. It's a real shame it's been turned into another money pit, especially for new players.

Yeaah... not that I care too much about Texas lake, but it's true. It was supposed to be the pond of last resort where everything is free, including bait if you're that broke.

True, the original Texas might not have had as many fish variations (did it?) to even justify an Adv. license, but still... devs... are you seriously trying to milk people that are broke and/or extremely new at this game?

Aren't you supposed first to entice a player to actually play your game before reaching for his wallet? Come on...not nice.

There is another side to it. You have to teach new players how licenses work eventually. I think Texas is a good choice for it, if you include it in the tutorial.
When you catch the trophy crappie, you could not allow them to keep it and force them to buy an advanced license. And then you have them catch it again.
The price would need to be adjusted for this.
If you teach them later, they might just click through the notification and get upset when they get fined.
