Right before Brawl Stars went mega popular, the community was all really kind and toxicity was an exception, but now toxicity makes its way into every part of the game
It's really sad that this is the future of gaming in general. Ultra greedy companies are ruining everything we used to love, and while I still love brawl stars to death, I can't help but feel like the game is reaching the end of its life, just like the entirety of supercell. I absolutely despise these megacorpotations, and they're the main reason I love indie games as much as I do. Thanks for letting me know that this was the reality of Supercell, I'll make sure to not spend any more money on the game anymore. Awesome video, very informative.
I would add to that, a common critique is that people just shouldn't pay/support the devs for these predatory game mechanics. I would argue there is a threshold at which a game incentive can make P2W so desirable people become inadvertently "forced" to pay for a gamepass for example... P2W vs P2Play and CoC is closer to P2W than the other
You are underestimating the issue, its not about gaming. Its about everything, huge coprorations are sticking their dirty greedy hands everywhere, they want more control, more money, always more more and more. Just look around, the dystopia is being built right before our eyes
Have been playing brawl stars for over 5 years now and I won't regret one bit if the game shuts down. You can't enjoy it anymore. Unbalanced, p2w and supercell aint doing anything with teamers and wintraders. They're killing it the same way they killed Clash Royal
Squad Busters was born that way also, pity it was fun for like a week for me then it was time to erase it forever, same thing I did with Royale years ago.
I've been playing Boom Beach for a very long time and just recently they've flooded it with watchable "reward ads", a battle pass, and more and more ways to spend. I love boom beach, i really do, but its become so monetized I can't take it anymore. At this point I might just develop my own base builder game so I can play in peace.
What a shame... Anyone who played clash of clans back in 2016 or earlier knows just how amazing Supercell was and how magical the game felt. Now it's just a shadow of what it used to be 💔
I stopped grinding my main when th14 released and only worked on my minis and pushing them instead cause the high levels got more and more boring and still is tbh
The game was never good, not sure how you even think like this. Clash of clans is based on who plays and spends the most to supplement it, there is no skill involved. This was blatantly obvious day 1
The gameplay wise its still good for me, but the disrespect they give to their promoters casters community links, its just stupid how they think they could juat do things like this n not feel the heat fron it
You are so correct about over monetization in Clash of Clans. The new builder thing they added is so stupid, players have to use gems which is a premium currency to get the new feature and there isn't a good way for f2p players to get so many gems without paying. I don't play coc anymore, but am still part of the sub reddit, and coc community is in deniel that supercell is ripping them off. They have already sunk so much money in the game. Everyone who criticizes over monetization or the recent copyright abuse just gets down voted or silenced. They say the new builder is a "long term investment". Dude it's a game you have to invest real money to get returns (fast building) like 1 year later. Wtf The over monetization and micro transections have ruined coc and Clash Royal. Genuinely makes me sad, since they have such a cool concept. This Is one of the reason I have gone almost 100% Indie.
F2P players? You think SC should just fund the game, for people to play for free?? It's a company, they need to make money. The fact you can fully play the game F2P, is amazing. It will be much slower, but you have no game play limitations.
@@micker9830 charging money for stuff is not the problem dude. It's over monetization and micro transections. I'm ready to pay an upfront cost, but a game that requires requiring payment to stay competitive is not worth playing. coc season pass, give a substantial progressive and competative advantage, I just couldn't stop the season pass because of the all the advantages. THATS PAY TO WIN Season pass in helldivers 2 are the best example of properly monetised season pass. Helldivers 2 season pass doesn't really give much progressive or competative advantage, and they STAY
bro in clash of clans you can max out apprentice builder in like 9 months free to play . considering you are not counting gems from achievement sacrifice of rewards from clan games and majic items from the silver pass also apprentice is a long term if you calculate all equipment can be maxed f2p in 2 years these are long term upgrades not short term
The new builder is still useful at level 1 or 2, because you can boost upgrades which would have finished in the middle of the night. And you can also save up tons of gems over the years if you don't waste them like crazy. Many patient players have over 10k+ gems.
As a free 2 play player I find it more rewarding and fun when u don't spend money on the game, I've never spent any money on a game prob never will cus its more fun that way. The builders apprentice thing is mid af I just bought it without upgrading and it's not too bad but I won't upgrade it. I'm th 13 btw been playing clash for 7 yrs I'm only th13 cus I rushed a th12 when th12 was maxed, then left the game came back and got to th13 now, been a th13 for awhile now almost maxed.
ya at least they drop all buildings cost and time, walls is now way cheaper than before. im f2p, don't rush on my ores because i just f2p. but still had 5 maxed equipments right now. low level equipments with the good skill, you still get 3 star pretty easy
Valve ain't a saint in any way (just look at the tf2 in my name to tell I'm well aware of it) but its hilarious their getting sued for monopolizing and anti competitive practices in the realm of digital game stores and launchers with Steam while Microsoft, Tencent, etc have a monopoly on the games themselves and aren't challenged at all.
If you take a look at the group who are suing Valve it’s a joke, they tried the same thing with Sony over a similar thing. They just seem to not like online marketplaces lmao
I genuinely feel so bad for buying only two season passes and convincing my dad to buy them for me, And now supercell is just a greedy and scamming company. I just hate myself 😭
In this case, as is always the case, the enemy is the concept of publicly-traded companies. It feels like the root of all of the world's problems shouldn't be something so simple, but it really, really is.
just because a game company leans towards pay to win doesnt mean its scamming u. Its bad, i dont like this route supercell is going, but its not a scam. You still CAN play the game for free if you want to, like i do, and still have relatively similar experiences.
@@azgaming9291i think this is ur first game buddy 😅 try to learn form blizzard if u think supercell are not scamming u , mobile games are made to scam people especially kids
brawl stars used to be good when there were limited brawlers. but now they purposely release so many broken brawlers that its unplayable. for nearly a month they dont nerf it and just when i save enough tokens to get the brawler, it gets nerfed hard. the logic behind 2 paid brawl pass is absurd. so much greed.
Clash Royale is like the prime example of greed and milking players. The statistics clearly show the game is dying faster than ever and is making the least revenue in years. The only Supercell's game left that seems to listen to the community and is not completely P2W is Brawl Stars, which I still play.
@@vegetalno Hopefully the realise that BS is doing so well because it’s a great game that hasn’t been pushed too far!! If they start milking it like CR then the players will leave
@@blags2 I really do hope they will realise that as well! You said that Tencent doesn’t care if one of the games stop making as much money, but on the flipside they want more and more money, so in the end it will hurt them. Great video btw
Why boycott tencent? They saw a opportunity to buy a stock that will bring them profit and they bought it, boycott supercell because of their stupidity to sell 81 percent of their stocks to someone if you have to boycott someone
@@itzryuk3095I agree with the first part but disagree with the second, supercell too only saw an opportunity to make money, and that is the goal of a company. It isn't necessarily a bad thing but sometimes leads to some dissapointing outcomes, businesses should be able to make money while still making great products
@@Karthik-pn2yj But majority of them can be modded, for instance, Terraria, Minecraft, Dead cells, Pvz GW2 (I dont know how I pulled that off but I gave my gmail acc every plant,( so on and so fourth, In this current time and age, Offline games + Indie games > Main stream games.
It's also important to remember that the fact that it takes months, sometimes years for players to begin noticing changes is by design. The reasons it takes so long is firstly to have people forget about here for example the fact that supercell was now owned by tencent and secondly because if it happened all at once, most players would nope out instantly. Instead they are conditioned over time to accept these changes. A battlepass here, a price increase there, that sort of thing Also, it usually trickles down from execs to devs and only then to players.
I came back for the first time in a year. Someone drove a giant balloon into the heart of my base, dropped an invisibility spell, and out poured super archers that gutted the center of my base, effortlessly. Then out came the dragons. He 3 starred me in under 2 minutes and I'm about half way through Town Hall 15. He's the same Town Hall as me. The cherry on top was the ENORMOUS BARBARIAN KING that costs $15, that upgrades the King in every way conceivable. I'm confused mostly. Been playing since January 2013, and my base reflects it.
@@Digger-Nick fax the fact that it takes massive amount of time to farm all crap and progress by tapping upgrade and waiting for years and repeating again is rly lame concept for sure
Spot on. I have played COC for over 10 years now and I jumped off the monthly pass wagon when they outragously pushed the monthly cost from £4.99 to £6.99 and I finally questioned what the hell I was doing! Now I simply play it on a free to play basis and do not stress out any more about that "ultimate upgrade"......
I thought it was just the Clash Royale division of Supercell that were asshats, but considering the recent additions of mediocre events, nearly impossible to get hero equipment, goblin builder, builder's apprentice, low effort TH16, ores, builder base and its shitty attack system..... I can see it, #JusticeforEric #FuckSupercell
bro in clash of clans you can max out apprentice builder in like 9 months free to play . considering you are not counting gems from achievement sacrifice of rewards from clan games and majic items from the silver pass also apprentice is a long term if you calculate all equipment can be maxed f2p in 2 years these are long term upgrades not short term
The cost for 3 builders who work 24 hrs is 3500 gems. The cost for the apprentice who only works 8 hrs is 6500. Please tell me how that makes sense other than SC just being plain greedy.
Do not see the problem with ores If you're in champion and higher, you can easily max out an equipment per month with daily star bonus and trader shop purchase And that's not even counting the war bonuses 1 equipment/month is pretty good pace
not really with switching the pass to be only bought with gems,coc was good until equipment were added tho so every game of supercell has become dogshit
@@Qoobon_ doesn’t give the new brawler which was hypothetically a legendary rarity is it and moreover the first passes were better with boxes where we get at least two new characters
@@thealmightylord9371star drops also hypothetically give brawlers not to mention how you get all brawlers way before you max out your account so getting brawlers out of the pass isn’t very important, also the free side of the pass give 1000 credits which is more than enough for an epic brawler
holy crap dude... this videos awesome! Amazing commentary and editing! You fr need like a hundred-thousand more subs dude... keep up the great work, you just earned yourself a subscriber!
Brawl stars community: we love supercell 🥰 edit: i think with how things are going brawl will eventually fall but when is uncertain. Let's just enjoy what we have before it's all over 😊.
@@SamSam-df4ow yes plenty of my friends in club *The black order* are f2p and have max account. search for this club name and there's ur answer. i can't type the tag it always gets removed here.
@@SamSam-df4ow i am a f2p player, I have all brawler over half of them power11, 18 hypercharges and I only got about 20 power9 and the rest power 10. All of them have at least 1 gadget and 1 star power. As a f2p player you can not expect the game giving you everything otherwise how the game will be updated. To be fair I have played since late 2019, but you can level up brawler you like first and enjoy the game it is not like the point of the game to have maxed account.
I mean I play brawl stars because it’s more f2p friendly than the rest of the supercell games with the reworked brawl pass having a lot of more free stuff at the free progression side and with the introduction of bling and also I like the brawl stars handlers there chill
I think COC is still fine these days and have some great updates. However Clash Royale is unplayable because its so P2W. You cant even play normally when you cards are even 1 level lower
To top it off, a 40 bucks scenery after a full display of mega greed removing the skin from the GOLD PASS, which btw I paid fckng money why do I have to wait or use gems to complete the track and I cant grind and have it right away... They "APOLOGIZED" by re-adding a "legendary" skin to then triple down and promote a 40 bucks scenery. That scenery would've been a decent apology, they simply showed they are laughing in our face. ALSO also, heres some "Treats" because we are such good dogs and we put up with anything from them and they count on us paying 40 bucks for a scenery. Treats. Your video is spot on. Blizzard is another one, Activision, etc etc etc.
It's such a shame that Supercell managed to end up in such a horrible direction. Man, I still remember being young and innocently playing Boom Beach & Clash of Clans without a worry in the world. Now one is abandonware, the other is slowly turning against its community... Oh, and don't get me started on what Clash Royale has become and what Squad Busters is becoming. Nicely made video, by the way! I hope this picks up considering more people need to be made aware of this, beyond those who associate with Clash Royale!
While I love the points you made and it has made me think about Supercell in a different light, (so much so that I might stop buying a pass every now and then) I do feel like there are 2 points worth noting: 1. Hard Work. You mention how easy it is to quickly level everything up rather than grind your way up, but that takes so much away from the whole gratification of slowly working your way up and eventually reaching those new milestones. And for a while, paying to get better things didn't automatically make you win, skill still came out on top. However, this is starting to change and that brings me to my second point. 2. Shelf Life. To keep a game alive (and still played by millions) for over a decade/years on end is something not many other companies/games can say. It becomes really hard to keep a game relevant without adding more features that slowly do shrink and start to flip the pay/skill gap. Now, this isn't me making excuses for the company, I just feel it's important to point these out, as well as to say that, especially for CoC, you can still reasonable play without spending anything (although that will probably start to change).
Gaming nowadays are about money instead of games and gameplay. And I get it they need to make money but lately they are getting lazy and anything and everything costs lots of cash. Like these offers aren’t $1 to $5 ratio now they want $25 to $100 ratio per offer ( card, troop etc) the game is no longer free to play ( well as long as you as a player don’t want to play competitive) Let’s also not forget tencent is behind cod mobile and arena of valor directly. Both games that run and look really good on mobile. They are no noobs and they clearly are trying to become the black rock of gaming companies. Wow great video. ❤
In brawl stars after you get 10k trophies(which is below average) your progression slows down so much and almost makes it impossible for free to play players
Bro my id switch isn't working, I'm not able to switch back to my main account, my game freezes as soon as I tap the 🔁icon to switch, the game freezes and the id doesn't switch
As someone who's been playing clash royale since day -1, and clash of clans much longer than that, it's truly saddening to see what's become of supercell games. Maybe it's just the fate of all mobile games to become greedy, soulless cashgrabs, but I'd like to think that, for a time, there was really something special there with the clash universe. Going from their high effort, iconic commercials and clash-a-rama animations, to then adding blatantly p2w features like battlepasses and card evolutions (which, to my knowlegdge, are still being added to the game faster than a f2p can physically obtain them), I've accepted that supercell games will never again be worth engaging in, and it's mostly come down to the decisions they've made over the last few years. Supercell and their parent company keep getting greedier and greedier, and eventually people are going to have to wake up and realize that it just isn't worth it anymore.
1)Global chat removal was one the worst decision,we can recruit active players more easily by seeing their lvls. 2) introduction of multiple passes as if ingame transactions were not enough 3)in clash royale I bought emotes because they were rare but then flood of emotes come and i am not interested at all.
The worst thing about these games in present is the reduction of EXCLUSIVITY of an item Brawl stars - supercell introduced ranked skins P2W players already have enough resources to buy all those legendary and mythic skins The only thing that separated us F2P loyal players from them was - exclusivity of certain skins We had this thing that we can show new players that we are OLD GAMERs , we are OGs But now they launched color variations of it 🤡🤡 Now p2w player who started playing 3 months ago - Has all the brawlers maxed out (same as us old players who are playing since 2018 , 6 years for a game ) Clash of clans - previously buildings used to take so much time to upgrade that old gamers used to flex the town halls and p2ws unless whales still feels the hard times getting close to OGs But now with enormous micro transactions that thing is gone and further p2w is most likely to get ahead of f2p OG in few months , and okay accepted that p2w is paying so he should get the things done But what about exclusivity?? There is nothing in clash of clans that separates ogs with new players unless someone opens your profile and check war stars in achievements and legend badges (that's less likely to happen ) if they bring something exclusive to ogs , like giving 1 year anniversary scenery and 5 year anniversary scenery to players who have IDs from that times , it will still be a flex But guess what ? P2ws have all the scenery and ogs have nothing but the townhall 16 when 17 is already maxed out by p2ws Clash royale - we all know about this one I don't have problem with game being p2w The only thing I want is GIVE OGs SOMETHING THAT PROVES THE EXCLUSIVITY STOP GIVING COLOR VARIATIONS FOR SKINS ON BRAWL STARS, LET THEM BE EXCLUSIVE
I have playing COC for 8 years. They just recently started charging for character abilities. That really pissed me off. This is flat out pay to play. I don’t mind spending $7 or $8 a month for benefit that helps make the game more fun all month long. I don’t play it anywhere near as much as I used to and I can see myself giving in altogether very soon.
The bots in it also auto-adjusts its stats & luck if there's a whale in the match, to make an artificial "challenge" for the whale, match-making is also hard EOMM. Uninstalled it on the 2nd day, foolish of me thinking they turned a new leaf. Becoming worst is an understatement.
The upcoming Delta Force: Hawk-Ops FPS is also under Tencent. Now, the Battlefield community is going crazy how amazing this game is based on Alpha gameplay footage without them actually playing it yet. Also, based on those footage, it's an exact 1:1 copy of BF2042 with CoD animations. The game hits all the same points that the Battlefield community hated on BF2042, but they are embracing what Tencent just copied and release as a "new" game.
yeah, i’ve noticed I’ve been enjoying myself more when I switched to story games rather than multiplayer games. and fortunuately, steam has a lifetime supply of them
The part where they drop op brawlers right off the bat sounds just like what war robots does. If they get to the point where they behave just like pixonic, then that's when its time to uninstall and forget
Its a shame Brawl Stars is such a fun game and was such a large part of my childhood, even made a fake account to get it pre-launch. I want to push ranked or even trying playing competitive but I'm not dumb enough to see that there's too many cracks forming on the ships bow, and while the game is growing, those cracks will start to leak soon and the ship will start sinking.
I stopped playing all Supercell games 3 years ago, not only I'm focusing more in IRL matters but also I started playing Roblox(and no I don't paying robux to skip levels as mentioned in this video 9:56) and any offline games since I've bought a high-end PC, even I started developing my own Roblox game. Sad to see how this Company had become, I always had beautiful memory when playing their game like meeting awesome member in a clan is one of them and when I last time check these people had gone offline for a long time and I'm the only one who still playing their game when this happen. If I have a time machine, I will tell my past me in 2016 to not downloading Clash Of Clans and Clash Royale and not to get hooked up with Supercell if in the future this company had gone this way. Like seriously, rooting to this company was my biggest mistake I've ever made and now I'm regretting it. Very informative and well-made video btw
I miss the good old days of PC games and sites where we traded security cracks so we could try the game before buying the game. It wasn’t piracy, it was a library system based on honor. Greed is what drove the FBI and Interpol into jailing people who did this back in the 90s. Forget console crap. Now mobile gaming is just stupid people wasting their lives. Supercell is no different from any of the game companies that got some coders to sell their souls and lives for a fist full of dollars.
Clash Of Clans *was* the best Supercell game cause it was well balanced for f2p. Up until now and i noted that since Darian (former Community Manager) left SC, the game has become pay2Win. If this happened in previous updates, it was fixed and made more accessible to casual players in the coming weeks. But now it hasn't after months and players are leaving the game after playing it for over a decade. PS. I understand companies need to make money but it went too far for SuperCell who were known as the "good guys."
I don't get it, Supercell has been greedy since the very early days of its time, ever since Clash of Clans was released back in 2012: the troop training time was insanely long (WTF was Dragon 30 minutes and Heal Spell was 2 hours???), loot was scarce (1k DE / 200k E/G was worth dying for in farming) yet building cost was insane (2 mil gold from TH7 to TH8 was massive), buildings already took merely 2 weeks at TH 8, BK and AQ took 7 days per level past 15. Same as CR when it was released: people pushing top ladder with lv4 (max -1) legendaries. Nowadays it's just the same greed in different forms and with extra steps. So what are you guys complaining about?
nothing wrong with any of that. it’s just a tactic for the developers to make their players play their game more, which is smart for business and the player’s enjoyment. besides, no normal person is going to stare at a builder working on upgrading a building for 4 days. there’s other things to do in life in the meantime
I have truly enjoyed all the changes of the game. I enjoy how a new card, a rework, a card buff, a nerf.... The change in cards changes the meta. Thos that can deal with the change are the real players. Many cards changes made the way i play change. Some i hate that my deck has to change if i want to win. The executioner killed my skills to play lava loon. I now have to adjust my play style.
I don't hate them. I think Clash of clans is the best it's ever been, by far. Only ones complaining are the people who thing SC should fund the game for them, to play for free. You can fully play Clash for free, it's just slower. It's not a charity, it's a business, stop thinking you should get something for free.
Not really competitive players would disagree watch Eric one hive and you will see and for my own opinion I liked clash of clans before th16 more even tho after th16 there were more content it just personal opinion
Bro, you don’t speak for all of us. We all don’t feel the same way you do, stop forcing this on the clash community. The problem is with the competitive players and the championships, it is not with the average clash player which we are the majority and you guys are the minority so please stop trying to ruin our gaming experience because few creators couldn’t take the heat with consequences and repercussions for their actions
So you'd rather continue to play a game riddled with pay to win and made by terrible developers rather than actively speak about the problems and get them resolved?
at what point will you finally realize this game is pay 2 win? when you have to pay money just to open the game? i could see supercell not making the game free anymore
Been playing Clash Royale since before even the public release, played regularly all along and invested maybe 200 euros. 2024 now: still no maxed deck. Not playing any of their game again, sad to see the company go that way
I don't think Supercell can do anything to sink their game. Level 15 didn't do it. TH-camrs are still playing their respective games despite the controversies. Unless we convince the dozens of Clash TH-camrs to quit their games and move on to something else, which would be an incredibly difficult sell, there's nothing that can be done.
It is sad to say that people are scared of saying this because of the fear of being found dead in a creek with 12 gun shot wounds in the back of the head and be labeled a self kill.
Oh wow, your video blew up! Congrats! Still, it's sad that the conversion rate from viewers to subscribers is very low. Small essay TH-camrs have it rough these days...
Investors are the bane of any game especially when they are given way more power than anyone else in the company like rushing an incomplete game out, shoving microtransactions, increasing pricing, force a game to be too "safe"
I had a feeling Supercell started changing a lot because other companies were behind the decision making. I remember hearing about them being majority owned by Tencent but I never thought things would get this bad. I have been following and playing supercell games for probably 10 years now and you can really see the huge change in how they approach monetization. Special offers use to be a once and awhile thing that would appear in the shop and now its the first thing the shop opens up to every day. They use to be good value, one $10 offer could make a significant change to your account and but now they have offers that are the price of full games...They started have multiple battle passes, using fomo tactics to promote exclusive skins then after they were bought they tried/and did go back on that promise of exclusivity. Some of the supercell teams do not even feel like real people just an entity that does not listen to player feedback. All of their games are becoming more gimmicky as time goes on. And it doesnt matter because theyre mobile so no one cares and theyll keep making money. Their games are like yearly release games (cod, 2k, madden) with how updates work because while it is new content, it usually comes with having to pay to unlock or be competitive with the new content. For example in brawl stars the fame update and not being able to stockpile rewards like you use to is so clearly meant to block people from easily accessing new content. Squad busters- a game that they uncharacteristically released unfinshed after a short beta and the gameplay mainly relies on rng elements with p2w mechanics directly built into the gameplay. This is their most blatant attempt at a cash grab ever. Idk man theres more I could go over too but they're such a disappointment nowadays
Hey yall, i know this is out of topic but there is another small gaming company that i think is way batter than supercell now, that is ninjakiwi. This small gaming company famous for making games such as BTD6 and BTD battles genre. This company cares alot to their company, they respond and listen to their community always, they do the right things ( most times ) to make the community happy and grow. I highly recommend checking out thier games and tgeir company, they need more love respect
as a day one player of clash of clans and clash royale, it saddens me that this company has been taken over by greed and cash grabs. officially turning me off from mobile games completely. RIP supercell. you will not be missed
Brawl stars was always pay to win, I really liked it anyways when it came out, but at the moment they went from 9 levels and the star power to having to buy like 5 things to make a brawler kinda competitive in high cups or ranked I uninstalled that shit and didn't download no supercell apps until squad busters, which i actually like right now, let's wait for them to make it impossible to climb without investing at least $15 like their other games
Im still really annoyed about the blacksmith, whenever i got to the next town hall i would always max warden and rc, sell my items to buy hero books just to get that next level ability. Now just after i almost maxed heros on my 4th account they added these broken equipments and it just feels like a slap in the face
If I hadn't spent about a £1000 on this game I would have stopped playing 5 years ago, you could spend £100.000 and still not have a fully upgraded base. It's criminal when you think about it.
Not to mention Techland who created the greatest game of all time Dying Light was bought by Tencent and gave us DL2 which IMO didn’t match the level DL1 gave its players. Sure it’s seemingly okay now due to updates but now there’s “battle passes” which just proves this video a point…

I've been playing Boom Beach for a very long time and just recently they've flooded it with watchable "reward ads", a battle pass, and more and more ways to spend. I love boom beach, i really do, but its become so monetized I can't take it anymore. At this point I might just develop my own base builder game so I can play in peace.
if you need a 3d artist or someone for voice acting I might be interested.
What a shame... Anyone who played clash of clans back in 2016 or earlier knows just how amazing Supercell was and how magical the game felt. Now it's just a shadow of what it used to be 💔
I been playing COC since war was the new update. Yes it was a lot of fun. Now not so much
I stopped grinding my main when th14 released and only worked on my minis and pushing them instead cause the high levels got more and more boring and still is tbh
The game was never good, not sure how you even think like this.
Clash of clans is based on who plays and spends the most to supplement it, there is no skill involved.
This was blatantly obvious day 1
The gameplay wise its still good for me, but the disrespect they give to their promoters casters community links, its just stupid how they think they could juat do things like this n not feel the heat fron it
No, its just ostalgia that make you feel like this.
You are so correct about over monetization in Clash of Clans.
The new builder thing they added is so stupid, players have to use gems which is a premium currency to get the new feature and there isn't a good way for f2p players to get so many gems without paying.
I don't play coc anymore, but am still part of the sub reddit, and coc community is in deniel that supercell is ripping them off. They have already sunk so much money in the game.
Everyone who criticizes over monetization or the recent copyright abuse just gets down voted or silenced.
They say the new builder is a "long term investment". Dude it's a game you have to invest real money to get returns (fast building) like 1 year later. Wtf
The over monetization and micro transections have ruined coc and Clash Royal. Genuinely makes me sad, since they have such a cool concept.
This Is one of the reason I have gone almost 100% Indie.
F2P players? You think SC should just fund the game, for people to play for free?? It's a company, they need to make money. The fact you can fully play the game F2P, is amazing. It will be much slower, but you have no game play limitations.
@@micker9830 charging money for stuff is not the problem dude. It's over monetization and micro transections. I'm ready to pay an upfront cost, but a game that requires requiring payment to stay competitive is not worth playing.
coc season pass, give a substantial progressive and competative advantage, I just couldn't stop the season pass because of the all the advantages. THATS PAY TO WIN
Season pass in helldivers 2 are the best example of properly monetised season pass. Helldivers 2 season pass doesn't really give much progressive or competative advantage, and they STAY
bro in clash of clans you can max out apprentice builder in like 9 months free to play . considering you are not counting gems from achievement sacrifice of rewards from clan games and majic items from the silver pass also apprentice is a long term if you calculate all equipment can be maxed f2p in 2 years these are long term upgrades not short term
The new builder is still useful at level 1 or 2, because you can boost upgrades which would have finished in the middle of the night.
And you can also save up tons of gems over the years if you don't waste them like crazy. Many patient players have over 10k+ gems.
As a free 2 play player I find it more rewarding and fun when u don't spend money on the game, I've never spent any money on a game prob never will cus its more fun that way. The builders apprentice thing is mid af I just bought it without upgrading and it's not too bad but I won't upgrade it. I'm th 13 btw been playing clash for 7 yrs I'm only th13 cus I rushed a th12 when th12 was maxed, then left the game came back and got to th13 now, been a th13 for awhile now almost maxed.
Dude I remember when I was excited for a clash of clans updates but now I dread supercell adding some p2w mechanics it makes sad.
Yeah, the P2W was fine before the addition of ores
And in CR it was fine until the evolution update
ya at least they drop all buildings cost and time, walls is now way cheaper than before. im f2p, don't rush on my ores because i just f2p. but still had 5 maxed equipments right now. low level equipments with the good skill, you still get 3 star pretty easy
It's a company who needs to make a profit. It's not a charity for people to play for free.
@@crem44 clash royale was fine until the pass rework.
Clash Royale is even worse with p2w
Valve ain't a saint in any way (just look at the tf2 in my name to tell I'm well aware of it) but its hilarious their getting sued for monopolizing and anti competitive practices in the realm of digital game stores and launchers with Steam while Microsoft, Tencent, etc have a monopoly on the games themselves and aren't challenged at all.
Nah the rest of the competition is garbage steam is not anti competitive epic is. They pay devs to publish their games on epic only
Steam is not a monopoly, it's just a good business model.
If you take a look at the group who are suing Valve it’s a joke, they tried the same thing with Sony over a similar thing. They just seem to not like online marketplaces lmao
@@blags2 people hate companies just to hate it.
valve is actually doing something about the bot situation; we better hope that this ban wave won't be the last
I genuinely feel so bad for buying only two season passes and convincing my dad to buy them for me, And now supercell is just a greedy and scamming company. I just hate myself 😭
Bro it's $20 don't worry
bro is definitely like 9 years old
Just purchase good games like dead cells or Minecraft which are also available on mobile phone
In this case, as is always the case, the enemy is the concept of publicly-traded companies. It feels like the root of all of the world's problems shouldn't be something so simple, but it really, really is.
Supercell ❌ Superscam ✅
ahahaha
you watch the video?
just because a game company leans towards pay to win doesnt mean its scamming u. Its bad, i dont like this route supercell is going, but its not a scam. You still CAN play the game for free if you want to, like i do, and still have relatively similar experiences.
@@azgaming9291i think this is ur first game buddy 😅 try to learn form blizzard if u think supercell are not scamming u , mobile games are made to scam people especially kids
@azgaming9291 true, it'd be a scam if they were outright lying about things; p2w is extremely annoying but they aren't forcing you pay
brawl stars is the last decent game of supercell (and no, clash royale is not a game anymore. its called charity)

Nah brawl stars is freaky af
brawl stars is the best currently but it's still ptw if you haven't grinded the game for a couple years
@@charlie-bc9fb yeah fr
I dropped it more than years ago
These are becoming more annoying af
brawl stars used to be good when there were limited brawlers. but now they purposely release so many broken brawlers that its unplayable. for nearly a month they dont nerf it and just when i save enough tokens to get the brawler, it gets nerfed hard. the logic behind 2 paid brawl pass is absurd. so much greed.
Clash Royale is like the prime example of greed and milking players. The statistics clearly show the game is dying faster than ever and is making the least revenue in years. The only Supercell's game left that seems to listen to the community and is not completely P2W is Brawl Stars, which I still play.
@@vegetalno Hopefully the realise that BS is doing so well because it’s a great game that hasn’t been pushed too far!! If they start milking it like CR then the players will leave
@@blags2 I really do hope they will realise that as well! You said that Tencent doesn’t care if one of the games stop making as much money, but on the flipside they want more and more money, so in the end it will hurt them. Great video btw
...we need to boycott Tencent...this is getting way too far out of hand
Why boycott tencent? They saw a opportunity to buy a stock that will bring them profit and they bought it, boycott supercell because of their stupidity to sell 81 percent of their stocks to someone if you have to boycott someone
You can play their games, just don't use the pay to win features
@@itzryuk3095I agree with the first part but disagree with the second, supercell too only saw an opportunity to make money, and that is the goal of a company. It isn't necessarily a bad thing but sometimes leads to some dissapointing outcomes, businesses should be able to make money while still making great products
@@aidanschuenke2769 selling you COMPANY doesn’t make you money, selling you PRODUCT makes you money, big difference
Boycott genocide ❌ boycott p2w video games✅ yall people need to get your priorities straight
Every game I play gets destroyed by bigger companies
you should definitely try tetris
try physical games/hobbies
or atleast offline games, anything you don't like or like to add can just be modded.
Fr first time for me is when Playfish got annihilated by EA 😢😅
@@MangaGamified not every offline game can be modded
some implement things that force you to play the "Intended" way
@@Karthik-pn2yj But majority of them can be modded, for instance, Terraria, Minecraft, Dead cells, Pvz GW2 (I dont know how I pulled that off but I gave my gmail acc every plant,( so on and so fourth, In this current time and age, Offline games + Indie games > Main stream games.
It's also important to remember that the fact that it takes months, sometimes years for players to begin noticing changes is by design.
The reasons it takes so long is firstly to have people forget about here for example the fact that supercell was now owned by tencent and secondly because if it happened all at once, most players would nope out instantly. Instead they are conditioned over time to accept these changes. A battlepass here, a price increase there, that sort of thing
Also, it usually trickles down from execs to devs and only then to players.
This is actually so true
No more gold passes, No more event passes. Not a single penny to $uper$ell until we see the game backing off from the corruption path
The game is now a completely defenseless pile of garbage
Now? It was always horrible
@@Digger-Nickit was not horrible before the addition of shitty gold pass and event passes and all shop offers and hero equipments
I came back for the first time in a year. Someone drove a giant balloon into the heart of my base, dropped an invisibility spell, and out poured super archers that gutted the center of my base, effortlessly. Then out came the dragons. He 3 starred me in under 2 minutes and I'm about half way through Town Hall 15. He's the same Town Hall as me. The cherry on top was the ENORMOUS BARBARIAN KING that costs $15, that upgrades the King in every way conceivable. I'm confused mostly. Been playing since January 2013, and my base reflects it.
@@despairdx Dude it's a multiplayer game based purely on who plays more and who spends more lol.
It was horrible the day it came out
@@Digger-Nick fax the fact that it takes massive amount of time to farm all crap and progress by tapping upgrade and waiting for years and repeating again is rly lame concept for sure
Spot on. I have played COC for over 10 years now and I jumped off the monthly pass wagon when they outragously pushed the monthly cost from £4.99 to £6.99 and I finally questioned what the hell I was doing! Now I simply play it on a free to play basis and do not stress out any more about that "ultimate upgrade"......
They make clash of clans so easy now, which kinda makes it less interesting and kinda boring, really miss the old clash :(
I thought it was just the Clash Royale division of Supercell that were asshats, but considering the recent additions of mediocre events, nearly impossible to get hero equipment, goblin builder, builder's apprentice, low effort TH16, ores, builder base and its shitty attack system..... I can see it, #JusticeforEric #FuckSupercell
bro in clash of clans you can max out apprentice builder in like 9 months free to play . considering you are not counting gems from achievement sacrifice of rewards from clan games and majic items from the silver pass also apprentice is a long term if you calculate all equipment can be maxed f2p in 2 years these are long term upgrades not short term
The cost for 3 builders who work 24 hrs is 3500 gems. The cost for the apprentice who only works 8 hrs is 6500. Please tell me how that makes sense other than SC just being plain greedy.
Do not see the problem with ores
If you're in champion and higher, you can easily max out an equipment per month with daily star bonus and trader shop purchase
And that's not even counting the war bonuses
1 equipment/month is pretty good pace

@@SamSam-df4ow i am a f2p player, I have all brawler over half of them power11, 18 hypercharges and I only got about 20 power9 and the rest power 10. All of them have at least 1 gadget and 1 star power. As a f2p player you can not expect the game giving you everything otherwise how the game will be updated. To be fair I have played since late 2019, but you can level up brawler you like first and enjoy the game it is not like the point of the game to have maxed account.
I mean I play brawl stars because it’s more f2p friendly than the rest of the supercell games with the reworked brawl pass having a lot of more free stuff at the free progression side and with the introduction of bling and also I like the brawl stars handlers there chill
I think COC is still fine these days and have some great updates. However Clash Royale is unplayable because its so P2W. You cant even play normally when you cards are even 1 level lower
My friend tried getting me back into clash royal recently after like 2 years off of it and I could not even play with the cards I had.
To top it off, a 40 bucks scenery after a full display of mega greed removing the skin from the GOLD PASS, which btw I paid fckng money why do I have to wait or use gems to complete the track and I cant grind and have it right away... They "APOLOGIZED" by re-adding a "legendary" skin to then triple down and promote a 40 bucks scenery. That scenery would've been a decent apology, they simply showed they are laughing in our face. ALSO also, heres some "Treats" because we are such good dogs and we put up with anything from them and they count on us paying 40 bucks for a scenery. Treats. Your video is spot on. Blizzard is another one, Activision, etc etc etc.
The Brawl stars team is the only part of supercell that’s doing good😭🙏
It's such a shame that Supercell managed to end up in such a horrible direction. Man, I still remember being young and innocently playing Boom Beach & Clash of Clans without a worry in the world. Now one is abandonware, the other is slowly turning against its community... Oh, and don't get me started on what Clash Royale has become and what Squad Busters is becoming.
Nicely made video, by the way! I hope this picks up considering more people need to be made aware of this, beyond those who associate with Clash Royale!
After watching this video, makes me wonder if Niantic sold majority of the company to tencent
While I love the points you made and it has made me think about Supercell in a different light, (so much so that I might stop buying a pass every now and then) I do feel like there are 2 points worth noting:
1. Hard Work. You mention how easy it is to quickly level everything up rather than grind your way up, but that takes so much away from the whole gratification of slowly working your way up and eventually reaching those new milestones. And for a while, paying to get better things didn't automatically make you win, skill still came out on top. However, this is starting to change and that brings me to my second point.
2. Shelf Life. To keep a game alive (and still played by millions) for over a decade/years on end is something not many other companies/games can say. It becomes really hard to keep a game relevant without adding more features that slowly do shrink and start to flip the pay/skill gap.
Now, this isn't me making excuses for the company, I just feel it's important to point these out, as well as to say that, especially for CoC, you can still reasonable play without spending anything (although that will probably start to change).
Gaming nowadays are about money instead of games and gameplay. And I get it they need to make money but lately they are getting lazy and anything and everything costs lots of cash. Like these offers aren’t $1 to $5 ratio now they want $25 to $100 ratio per offer ( card, troop etc) the game is no longer free to play ( well as long as you as a player don’t want to play competitive)
Let’s also not forget tencent is behind cod mobile and arena of valor directly. Both games that run and look really good on mobile. They are no noobs and they clearly are trying to become the black rock of gaming companies. Wow great video. ❤
One word. Indie.
In brawl stars after you get 10k trophies(which is below average) your progression slows down so much and almost makes it impossible for free to play players
the fuck are you on

As someone who's been playing clash royale since day -1, and clash of clans much longer than that, it's truly saddening to see what's become of supercell games. Maybe it's just the fate of all mobile games to become greedy, soulless cashgrabs, but I'd like to think that, for a time, there was really something special there with the clash universe. Going from their high effort, iconic commercials and clash-a-rama animations, to then adding blatantly p2w features like battlepasses and card evolutions (which, to my knowlegdge, are still being added to the game faster than a f2p can physically obtain them), I've accepted that supercell games will never again be worth engaging in, and it's mostly come down to the decisions they've made over the last few years. Supercell and their parent company keep getting greedier and greedier, and eventually people are going to have to wake up and realize that it just isn't worth it anymore.
Thank you for explaining the root of the problem and not yapping about the same shit like most of them
1)Global chat removal was one the worst decision,we can recruit active players more easily by seeing their lvls.
2) introduction of multiple passes as if ingame transactions were not enough
3)in clash royale I bought emotes because they were rare but then flood of emotes come and i am not interested at all.

The worst thing about these games in present is the reduction of EXCLUSIVITY of an item
Brawl stars - supercell introduced ranked skins
P2W players already have enough resources to buy all those legendary and mythic skins
The only thing that separated us F2P loyal players from them was - exclusivity of certain skins
We had this thing that we can show new players that we are OLD GAMERs , we are OGs
But now they launched color variations of it 🤡🤡
Now p2w player who started playing 3 months ago - Has all the brawlers maxed out (same as us old players who are playing since 2018 , 6 years for a game )
Clash of clans - previously buildings used to take so much time to upgrade that old gamers used to flex the town halls and p2ws unless whales still feels the hard times getting close to OGs
But now with enormous micro transactions that thing is gone and further p2w is most likely to get ahead of f2p OG in few months , and okay accepted that p2w is paying so he should get the things done
But what about exclusivity?? There is nothing in clash of clans that separates ogs with new players unless someone opens your profile and check war stars in achievements and legend badges (that's less likely to happen ) if they bring something exclusive to ogs , like giving 1 year anniversary scenery and 5 year anniversary scenery to players who have IDs from that times , it will still be a flex
But guess what ? P2ws have all the scenery and ogs have nothing but the townhall 16 when 17 is already maxed out by p2ws
Clash royale - we all know about this one
I don't have problem with game being p2w
The only thing I want is GIVE OGs SOMETHING THAT PROVES THE EXCLUSIVITY
STOP GIVING COLOR VARIATIONS FOR SKINS ON BRAWL STARS, LET THEM BE EXCLUSIVE
why are you crying about recolors of exclusive skins?

I don’t play it anywhere near as much as I used to and I can see myself giving in altogether very soon.
Squad busters was rng and pay to win it’s basically if you have good luck you win
I tried it. Stupid game.
The bots in it also auto-adjusts its stats & luck if there's a whale in the match, to make an artificial "challenge" for the whale, match-making is also hard EOMM.

Now, the Battlefield community is going crazy how amazing this game is based on Alpha gameplay footage without them actually playing it yet. Also, based on those footage, it's an exact 1:1 copy of BF2042 with CoD animations.

I stopped playing all Supercell games 3 years ago, not only I'm focusing more in IRL matters but also I started playing Roblox(and no I don't paying robux to skip levels as mentioned in this video 9:56) and any offline games since I've bought a high-end PC, even I started developing my own Roblox game. Sad to see how this Company had become, I always had beautiful memory when playing their game like meeting awesome member in a clan is one of them and when I last time check these people had gone offline for a long time and I'm the only one who still playing their game when this happen. If I have a time machine, I will tell my past me in 2016 to not downloading Clash Of Clans and Clash Royale and not to get hooked up with Supercell if in the future this company had gone this way. Like seriously, rooting to this company was my biggest mistake I've ever made and now I'm regretting it. Very informative and well-made video btw
I miss the good old days of PC games and sites where we traded security cracks so we could try the game before buying the game. It wasn’t piracy, it was a library system based on honor. Greed is what drove the FBI and Interpol into jailing people who did this back in the 90s. Forget console crap. Now mobile gaming is just stupid people wasting their lives. Supercell is no different from any of the game companies that got some coders to sell their souls and lives for a fist full of dollars.
Clash Of Clans *was* the best Supercell game cause it was well balanced for f2p. Up until now and i noted that since Darian (former Community Manager) left SC, the game has become pay2Win. If this happened in previous updates, it was fixed and made more accessible to casual players in the coming weeks. But now it hasn't after months and players are leaving the game after playing it for over a decade.
PS. I understand companies need to make money but it went too far for SuperCell who were known as the "good guys."
Using official CRL vods in your video might invite a copy-strike.😢
coc is very f2p friendly now compared to how the game was originally
I don't get it, Supercell has been greedy since the very early days of its time, ever since Clash of Clans was released back in 2012: the troop training time was insanely long (WTF was Dragon 30 minutes and Heal Spell was 2 hours???), loot was scarce (1k DE / 200k E/G was worth dying for in farming) yet building cost was insane (2 mil gold from TH7 to TH8 was massive), buildings already took merely 2 weeks at TH 8, BK and AQ took 7 days per level past 15. Same as CR when it was released: people pushing top ladder with lv4 (max -1) legendaries.
Nowadays it's just the same greed in different forms and with extra steps. So what are you guys complaining about?
nothing wrong with any of that. it’s just a tactic for the developers to make their players play their game more, which is smart for business and the player’s enjoyment. besides, no normal person is going to stare at a builder working on upgrading a building for 4 days. there’s other things to do in life in the meantime
I saw an ad from Supercell in this video
Shoutout?
I have truly enjoyed all the changes of the game. I enjoy how a new card, a rework, a card buff, a nerf.... The change in cards changes the meta. Thos that can deal with the change are the real players. Many cards changes made the way i play change. Some i hate that my deck has to change if i want to win. The executioner killed my skills to play lava loon. I now have to adjust my play style.
I don't hate them. I think Clash of clans is the best it's ever been, by far. Only ones complaining are the people who thing SC should fund the game for them, to play for free. You can fully play Clash for free, it's just slower. It's not a charity, it's a business, stop thinking you should get something for free.
Not really competitive players would disagree watch Eric one hive and you will see and for my own opinion I liked clash of clans before th16 more even tho after th16 there were more content it just personal opinion

Bro, you don’t speak for all of us. We all don’t feel the same way you do, stop forcing this on the clash community. The problem is with the competitive players and the championships, it is not with the average clash player which we are the majority and you guys are the minority so please stop trying to ruin our gaming experience because few creators couldn’t take the heat with consequences and repercussions for their actions
So you'd rather continue to play a game riddled with pay to win and made by terrible developers rather than actively speak about the problems and get them resolved?
at what point will you finally realize this game is pay 2 win? when you have to pay money just to open the game? i could see supercell not making the game free anymore
Clash of clans today is nothing compared to what clash of clans used to be, we're just blinded by nostalgia.

"game just created for lgbt and kids" = 🧠❌
Hold up, are you 5 too?
agreed with "for kids" part but lgbtq is just ridiculous claim.
Tf you mean “for lgbt and kids”?
pfp really fits
Theyve even started banning people for saying

Been playing Clash Royale since before even the public release, played regularly all along and invested maybe 200 euros. 2024 now: still no maxed deck. Not playing any of their game again, sad to see the company go that way
I don't think Supercell can do anything to sink their game. Level 15 didn't do it. TH-camrs are still playing their respective games despite the controversies. Unless we convince the dozens of Clash TH-camrs to quit their games and move on to something else, which would be an incredibly difficult sell, there's nothing that can be done.
It is sad to say that people are scared of saying this because of the fear of being found dead in a creek with 12 gun shot wounds in the back of the head and be labeled a self kill.
They may can do that in china, but not outside china were info travels instantly
Oh wow, your video blew up! Congrats!
Still, it's sad that the conversion rate from viewers to subscribers is very low. Small essay TH-camrs have it rough these days...
Investors are the bane of any game especially when they are given way more power than anyone else in the company like rushing an incomplete game out, shoving microtransactions, increasing pricing, force a game to be too "safe"
Thanks, Blags. I was lamenting the end of Succession and you just dropped a new episode!
I had a feeling Supercell started changing a lot because other companies were behind the decision making. I remember hearing about them being majority owned by Tencent but I never thought things would get this bad. I have been following and playing supercell games for probably 10 years now and you can really see the huge change in how they approach monetization. Special offers use to be a once and awhile thing that would appear in the shop and now its the first thing the shop opens up to every day. They use to be good value, one $10 offer could make a significant change to your account and but now they have offers that are the price of full games...They started have multiple battle passes, using fomo tactics to promote exclusive skins then after they were bought they tried/and did go back on that promise of exclusivity. Some of the supercell teams do not even feel like real people just an entity that does not listen to player feedback. All of their games are becoming more gimmicky as time goes on. And it doesnt matter because theyre mobile so no one cares and theyll keep making money. Their games are like yearly release games (cod, 2k, madden) with how updates work because while it is new content, it usually comes with having to pay to unlock or be competitive with the new content. For example in brawl stars the fame update and not being able to stockpile rewards like you use to is so clearly meant to block people from easily accessing new content. Squad busters- a game that they uncharacteristically released unfinshed after a short beta and the gameplay mainly relies on rng elements with p2w mechanics directly built into the gameplay. This is their most blatant attempt at a cash grab ever. Idk man theres more I could go over too but they're such a disappointment nowadays
Anyone's here when Th10 was top townhall?
This was around 2014 I believe, right around the time I quit the game lol
I literally got a supercell ad as I clicked this vid 😂
Hey yall, i know this is out of topic but there is another small gaming company that i think is way batter than supercell now, that is ninjakiwi. This small gaming company famous for making games such as BTD6 and BTD battles genre. This company cares alot to their company, they respond and listen to their community always, they do the right things ( most times ) to make the community happy and grow. I highly recommend checking out thier games and tgeir company, they need more love respect
Why did I just get an ad for a Supercell game?
I got two clash of clans ads before watching this 😅
Two?? lmao
as a day one player of clash of clans and clash royale, it saddens me that this company has been taken over by greed and cash grabs. officially turning me off from mobile games completely. RIP supercell. you will not be missed
one day i started to get mad about supercell beacuse of a lot of reasons and n ow i see that its not only me everyone hate supercell
all that i needed to know is that supercell is 81% owned by tencent, and i instantly knew what is up
I LOVE the sheer irony in the fact that I got a Clash of Clans ad on this video.
Literally got a crash of clans ad saying "new stuff new this and that" lol
It's ironic how I got an ad of this company's game while watching this video
Got a clash Royale ad before this vid
Brawl stars was always pay to win, I really liked it anyways when it came out, but at the moment they went from 9 levels and the star power to having to buy like 5 things to make a brawler kinda competitive in high cups or ranked I uninstalled that shit and didn't download no supercell apps until squad busters, which i actually like right now, let's wait for them to make it impossible to climb without investing at least $15 like their other games
IS NOTHING FUCKING SACRED ANYMORE!?!?
Im still really annoyed about the blacksmith, whenever i got to the next town hall i would always max warden and rc, sell my items to buy hero books just to get that next level ability.
Now just after i almost maxed heros on my 4th account they added these broken equipments and it just feels like a slap in the face
If I hadn't spent about a £1000 on this game I would have stopped playing 5 years ago, you could spend £100.000 and still not have a fully upgraded base. It's criminal when you think about it.
I know now why Darian left.. it's sad
35 gems for ONE starry ore, and there’s equipment that needs 100 of them to move three spots up😢
Not to mention Techland who created the greatest game of all time Dying Light was bought by Tencent and gave us DL2 which IMO didn’t match the level DL1 gave its players. Sure it’s seemingly okay now due to updates but now there’s “battle passes” which just proves this video a point…
