Playrix is the Martin Shkreli of match 3 games. In response to the pandemic, when people were confined at home and playing games rather than going out, Playrix drastically reduced the number of moves allowed for many levels, thereby drastically reducing the possibility of passing levels without spending money for boosters. You can verify this by comparing current moves allowed to YouTube videos of those levels pre-pandemic. PS: Pay no attention to Playrix responses copied from prepared scripts.
