That is true, yes, but I won't have access to the new Cookies very quickly for a couple of reasons.

The events that gives you Crystals are in Korean. Unless it has an obvious indicator I have to do, it's just basically blind luck whether or not I'll actually get Crystals out of it. Even then, I don't have the treasures or pets to be able to do many of them at the moment anyway.

Secondly, I can't buy Crystals. If I could, I could just easily shell out $4.99 for 100 Crystals and use that to buy the new Cookies (I'm pretty sure I could gather up the remaining 19 or so Crystals needed between releases. I still do get 1 Crystal a day for logging in daily). It's because I don't have a Korean credit card, and I have no idea where to get a Korean iTunes card.

The game is pretty limiting if you don't have the Crystals, as Pets need Crystals to be hatched, and there are several Cookies that requires you to have a certain number of treasures or pets which again require Crystals.

Frankly, it sucks. :p
