So you install a "f2p" game, get ten rounds(which takes a few minutes) and then you have to subscribe to play anymore, and the only option is $30 for a year? And it's missing features that are on the website version.
Yeah, that is deserved rating.
Currently marked as "Overwhelmingly negative" with 17% positive reviews.
Did this happen because of Google API pricing changes?
The pricing changes happened years ago. This is about the game being F2P but nothing can actually be done without paying, and subscriptions from the Web version don't grant access to the Steam game.
Regardless of the game, there was a recent change that went into effect on March 1.
Honestly, people are mostly* blaming the victim here. I used to adore playing Geoguessr years ago, but that came to an end when a subscription was needed to play it. That came about because Google started charging exorbitant prices for the Google Maps and Streetview API.
*Yeah, the other issues like lacking features and not using the subscription from the website are dumb, and shouldn't have been a thing for the Steam release. But the core issue of the subscription? The fault for that lies squarely with Google...
If only the iOS version got the same response.
Apple users like wasting money
