    These changes are going to kill the game. Remember that. And it's a shame because the game looks beautiful, it feels amazing to play and has so many cool Disney characters, that it makes me angry that they're going to kill such an amazing game, just because of typical corporate greed.. 😢

      couldn't agree more honestly, it just sucks for a game that still has almost limitless amounts of potential taking in to consideration all the possible content, to just get slowly dragged down by the same people even though there's loads of other ways they could make money off the game

      Games like these are designed with planned obsolescence; they generate the majority of their revenue early on. As income decreases, the operational costs remain the same after development. This is why a developer or publisher might degrade their game's quality until the player base dwindles.

    I lost my job at the end of January so money has been tight for me. When I read about the new seasonal changes, I was like...."Well, guess this is the first season where I don't get every racer." It sucks because I love the game and I have supported the game with my money but even if I feel I'm "In too deep" financially, I might have to cut my losses and walk away from Speedstorm.

    I’ve spent a good amount of money on this game but the announcement from yesterday was ridiculous. Crazy that they try to pass off the 2 parts to the golden pass as helping people who don’t complete the pass. And charging for the pass without the tokens made me realize that the game doesn’t have long and this is a way of getting extra cash from big spenders. What a sad turn of events.

    The Disney+ and Hulu with ads bundle is $10 a month. They seriously think a single video game should cost the same price.
    To be honest my biggest issue is that, that it would be a constant $10 a month. If it was self sustaining like other games' battle passes I'd say the $10 upfront wouldn't be that bad, but expecting $20 a season, $120 a year? Absolutely not.
    I've had enough fun with the game to justify throwing some money at it but I haven't found anything worth spending on. The boxes are too stingy for their price and I can live without skins. I think the tournament passes sound like they might be just the thing I'd be willing to buy but then also with everything else surrounding this update I don't even want to consider that.

    I didn't mind to pay 2 or 5 euros to get the extra blue tokens that I needed to get the season pass after having earned some blue tokens playing multiplayer rank. After this change, to get Ralph and Vanellope (we all know are going to be them) I must pay 20€ and all the effort I put into multiplayer has no value. I don't care about cosmetics, I just want to unlock the characters. I'm used to not being able to unlock midseason racers, but I always got all the main characters from Aladdin, Frozen and Little Mermaid seasons. Unfortunately, Ralph will be my first uncompleted full season in terms of characters.

    In my opinion, the Little Mermaid season was very much play-to-win, and this problem is only getting worse with the Wreck-it Ralph season. What was wrong with the way getting the Golden Pass was before, when you could pay for it with tokens and only had to pay once a season?
    Unless Gameloft undoes this controversial change, they're going to have to change the game's name from Disney Speedstorm to Disney Greedstorm.

    I'm starting to wonder if the game is trying to switch from a f2p model, to a psudo-paid expansion based model. Will have to wait till the new season to see if that is what is happening. Like are gacha boxes still relevant and need to be bought, or do most shards come from the money season passes, if that makes any sense. Seems a little on the pricey side for a actually sort of small paid expansion, sounds like it's minimum 28 dollars, for just one season of content, tournament mode, etc. But that's just my opinion. Guess we see where it goes.

    Sadly thats the way it always goes when companies recognise they can drain the players. As mentioned, there are lots of ways to earn money and still give value in return and keep the f2p-player too.
    Its not about earning money for living, its about how to get as much money as fast as they can.
    The only way to stop that is: Dont speak about the game, dont play the game, dont buy smth inside the game.
    But this will never happen. Content creators have to play. And there are thousands of ppl who dont care how much money they spend and a single one of these will outweight millions of f2p-player...It always go: money, money, money!

    Disney Speedstorm, where the "battle pass" is just stuff you could also unlock for free if you grind long enough will now be more expensive than Fortnite's "Battle Pass" which gives you 8 exclusive skins and stuff. This will be the worst update, eventhough not everything is bad (like the vault pass), but make it able for F2P players somehow. I'm not going to spend money on a kart game, unless it was offline DLC to do entire season over and over again, a little bit like Mario kart DLC, but with an entire season for like 4$. I do look forward to tournaments as long as they don't put a paywall in it. Remember if this game fails to make a lot of money they will shut it down and all the money spend on those seasons will be gone.

    I genuinely wonder if the game will survive long enough to reach all the datamined/leaked content. Once again, the actual game part of Speedstorm is great and you nailed it. I love the track layouts, racer abilities and music. It is just unfortunate Gameloft can't help themselves and even worse because this is an online only game so when they pull the plug by year's end to move onto the next grift, everything will vanish forever. It sucks that such a fun kart racer was designed to keep gouging for money masquerading as F2P when as others noted, they really want this to be a subscription game. Sunk cost is real so I will see how season 7 starts, but they haven't earned any good will to justify forking over $10 per month essentially.

  • @simonw.larsen2280

    I was a week 1 player and bought the founders pack and after some seasons, I had to pay for the Golden Pass with Tokens and often I didn’t have enough Tokens for the pass, because I don’t play RMP/MP that often, so I had to spend real money and it was fine for a Golden Pass and I could completed the Season Tour..
    But when it came to the season 4 or 5 with mid season racers, that was required to complete the Season Tour, I was mad!! Because I ranked low and didn’t had enough Racer Shards to unlock them and then I was forced to pay for the last Shards, to unlock that character, in order to complete the Season Tour.. so I had to pay for both the Golden Pass and the Racer Shards.
    And it continued from that season till today, with double payment.
    When you pay for a Golden Pass with real money, that is for the Season Tour, it shouldn’t be necessary to pay extra, in order to complete the Season Tour.. that makes me mad!!
    I didn’t complete all the chapters/nodes in season 5, because of this, even when I payed for the Golden Pass. The same goes for this season, I didn’t complete all the last nodes, in the last chapter.
    I understand that people will spend some extra money on cosmetics, that’s on them. But charging extra money for low level players and Golden Pass buyers, is just insane!!
    I have saved up and payed with real money, for some of my Tokens and have more than 4.000 for future Golden Passes.. that was what I thought.. they are now just money out of the window!!

    I was astounded by this game not because of its content, but because of the developer track record vs the reception around F2P.
    I knew Gameloft as the dev making those asphalt games on mobile which were, in short, financially horrendous for players. I was surprised to see the leniency as to what content was being provided through gameplay means and when the beginning of the Frozen season hit the all-time high of good graces with its community, I really should have known it would come crashing down, but the attitude displayed was so... not them that I bought into.
    Gameloft has been at this since 2009 or 2010, I should have known in time.

    I've been playing the game since the middle of season 5 (Frozen Season) and I've really enjoyed the game, but lately I've been sad about the game, because the characters I also want to unlock are payable characters and that's bad for me. The next season is the one I'm most looking forward to because it has the characters I like most and I feel like I won't get all the characters because of this monetization issue. Gameloft had to look a little more at us, free players, who also want to have event characters and make us even more interested in the game. Unfortunately I'm not going to buy the passes, even though I've never bought one, but I hope to see this issue a little more resolved in the future. In fact, since I started playing the game, your channel is the one I've been following the most and I like watching your videos, coming from Brazil :).

I've been giving Gameloft the benefit of the doubt that they'll turn it around and keep improving and staying optimistic that things can only get better, but nope. I'll see what Season 7 has in store and hope Gameloft does a 180, but I'm at the point where I'm ready to ditch this game.

    Speaking as someone who played this game since the Monsters Inc. Season, I don’t have many worries about paying for anything because of how much progress I’ve built up with the characters when they were new. The new upgrading system is a lot better and the only times I really spend money is for the newer Seasons or when a high rarity costume or car cosmetic appears on the shop. I mean, you had to pay money to play the game.
    It’s not like being overly monetized like Overwatch or TF2 (different game types, I know) and the prices are not extortion levels like what other companies do. The game that I think is worse is Dreamlight Valley because so much decorative buildings, outfits or even a “continuation” of the main story are behind the paid currency.

    I started playing when this game went free-to-play and ended up forking over money to buy the Golden pass during the Aladdin season.
    I was able to get a ton of characters & enough currency to buy the little mermaid golden pass when that became live. The trade off was healthy for anyone playing on a budget.
    I won’t lie, buying the golden pass at the start of the free-to-play era was the best time to start playing disney speed storm for those who didn’t buy into it earlier. It was a great experience^^ (I now have all racers but Steamboat Pete 8/10 shards)
    Now with these changes Gameloft is punishing new comers, casual players, players who don’t have the time to put into the game and even returning players. I will not be supporting the next golden pass or tournament out of protest. They truly missed the mark here.
    The key to having a great free-to-play game is to have a healthy relationship with the community and things were looking well until recently. This change imo will only damage the community and will hurt the player base.
    Very unfortunate

    First...ill edit with a real comment after lol
    Edit: Sometimes even when you want to stay positive it's time to take the gloves off and hold them accountable. I feel you though - speedstorm is an incredible game. Maybe surprisingly, I come from an FPS and MMO background. Games I was gaining had a dry spell and a friend and I tried speedstorm on a whim. Over a thousand hours later and I'm still having a blast. I hate to see where the game is going but if we don't respectfully speak up, nothing will change.
    I respect you for always trying to keep it positive and also respect you for knowing when it's time to hold them accountable and say this is not the way.
    Side note: Been thinking about this, we keep hearing (and repeating) to others that we recognize that the new passes have essentially the same value...but they don't do they? Because right now I get two characters right? So for the same price I'm only getting one character now. I'm sure there will be a bunch of random nick nack BUT it's still only 1 characters only 1 epic crew, instead of 2 characters and 2 epic crews, and again, for the same price.
    Edit v2: The last point has been clarified for me in the comments that they both have 2 just different epics. Thanks for the clarification Ander!

    I’m not a free-to-play player, like you, I’ve played this game on Early Access when I pre-ordered this game for $29.99, basically $30. I don’t know how it’s going to affect us paid players, but I wouldn’t mind buying $10 for a season. But another $10, that IS a bit much. We should at LEAST be able to buy $10 for EVERY Golden Pass going forward. UNLESS GameLoft can give us an option to use tokens again in HOPEFULLY Season Eight. Cause, BESIDES the Monsters Inc. Season, I’ve gotten to level 50 on EVERY Golden Pass.

  • @aka_olly
    @aka_olly หลายเดือนก่อน

    I think the main reason they’re splitting the season pass into 2 is because they know that the most invested players and those likely to spend money on the game are those that have a plethora of golden pass tokens banked. They probably sat down and had a think about how they can best deplete our supply of these to ensure that they can start making money off of the veterans as soon as possible. It’s pretty sickly. I love this game so much but my main issue is that, time and time again I think I know what I am committing to or investing in and then Gameloft pull the rug from under our feet. I love this game, I’ll be sticking it out but they definitely are making far too many predatory decisions. Also, they definitely separated the two pit stops because they know how much outrage there would be in response to each 😂

    I feel your pain. I joined at Season 4 and have 420 hours ingame so far.
    I unlocked every character und i really enjoy the game.
    I already spent some money in the game [~ 100€) which was fine for me, due to the reason u mentioned in the video.
    I also spent some money for my kids, so they had some tokens on top.
    With the upcoming change Greedloft killed it for it.
    I could easily afford to buy 3 passes in a season, but since i'm not a stupid cash cow i will turn into a 100% F2P Player, take what i can get and see whihc direction this game will take.
    I can only hope that the majority of the playerbase will do the same, so they might start to reconsider their actions.

  • @kicksandcollectables
    @kicksandcollectables หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    Really appreciate you doing this, get more awareness to the fact of how bad the game has been getting with pay to win, or even pay to play in general now. Maybe eventually they will stop and make it fair again, but my hopes aren't high for that. Every update, every season they get more and more greedy and money hungry. I'm waiting for them to go to a Fortnite system where you have to just pay to get anything you want in general, carts, characters, skins, etc.

    Thank you for the info!
    I was really looking forward to the new season since I got almost enough tokens for 2 golden passes (I'm a F2P player), but now I'm really depressed. What's happening now is what I was afraid of since the very announcement of the game being F2P 😞
    I actually really like this game, but I already got sceptical since the split season boxes... The audacity of Gameloft, making progress harder with every update while claiming to make it better. It's disgusting.
    I'll try to stay with Speedstorm as long as it's still fun, but I'll never ever spend a dime! And I agree with other people in this comment section, people need to stop spending money on the game!
    I normally don't judge people who do, but if players keep throwing money towards Gameloft, they basically allow them to proceed with their greedy changes and treat loyal players like trash 🤷‍♀️

    No apologies. This is a terrible update. As a purchaser of the ultimate founder's pack, I sill have a lot of tokens left due to only spending them on the gold passes.

And I dont buy characters if they make me be able to only buy the ones I like. But they force you to buy everything. Cause they will ask for the paid characters (goldenpass and mid season racers ) in the chapters. So if you dont buy them you cannot do a huge amount of the game ( I feel like its atleast half but im not sure)

I'm glad I didn't spend money in this game cuz it's gonna fail very soon.

    Thank you for making this video. I know you try your best to positive spin on things when it comes to Speedstorm but your your honest feedback on these changes are greatly appreciated.
    While I'm usually a wait and see person and do agree with some of the changes, I fully understand the anger about the changes to the Golden Passes. Why change it from in game currency to $10 a month/ $120 a year? I, like many others, set aside enough in game currency to buy a few more seasons but now I am being asked to fork over an additional $20 to complete the the Wreck it Ralph season? Nope. I've enjoyed it from the beginning. I don't regret any of the money I spent on it with the multiple Founder's Packs and of course I'll check out the update. But at this point, I'm done spending any additional money on this game unless changes are made. It's a shame too because as you stated, the core of the game is really good and fun to play. It's a shame to Gameloft kill it with greed.
