@ Idk the game felt pretty aimed at children but can be enjoyed by adults to me when I played it (I have gamepass so I didn't pay for it). Disney things tend to have a very sanitized feel to them that you don't get from games that are intended for adults.

This is exactly why I didn't buy into this game. Paying for early access is something Indie games do to RAISE THE MONEY to complete the game. Disney never needed to do this. It's DISNEY! If they wanted to make a Free to Play game they would have made it, released it and raked the money in with all the micro transactions they want. Instead they're charging for a 'Free to Play Game', DLC, and in-game currency BEFORE the full release. From the moment I heard about this game I saw the greed.

disney has a bad history with how they treat game studios, they usually just sell licenses to make games basically renting out the charaters because the last time they ran a game company it failed. crashed and burned. though that may be because it was the first thing they cut funding to when their movies did poorly and needed to cut costs.

THANK YOU for talking about this and being willing to call this out. I feel a major issue people are having is not about the expenses, but the lack of honesty and blatant disregard of the loyalty and trust the consumers had, and it's what's causing the massive backlash. It's a spit in the face to its community. I remember when the game first came out they drove a huge amount of attention and sales to this game being FREE TO PLAY, and now they're going back on their word because they want to earn more money. I've paid for it when it came out and played at least 200+ hours and I definitely don't think it's worth the expensive price. I've seen some people say that they want to support the devs in updating the game but like. You can literally do that already with microtransactions AND DLC. And the game is STILL RIDDLED WITH GAMEBREAKING BUGS. What does that tell you about where your money is going?

Their shop isn't even overpriced you can afford most things in it just by participating in dream snaps and the battle pass gives you your moon stones back. Compare this to other free to play games like fortnight where the shop changes every day with items costing upwards of 2000 premium currency with no way of making more than 200 premium currency every 3 months. On top of that they have 2 subscription services and a battle pass Then theirs Overwatch which charges $60 for skins, makes you pay for every main story update and locks heros behind the limited time battle pass and if you miss it you have to pay for them. Then there's destiny 2 another free to play game where story dlc costs $70 and to get outfits and weapons, you have to buy the battle pass. Meanwhile in Disney dreamlight vally I haven't paid a single cent in micro transactions and I havent had any issue affording things in the premium shop and have gotten and completed every battle pass with only the moon stones from my initial purchase. The game only costs $30 Canadian where most pay to play games cost $80 for just the base game. Test the ultimate edition is expensive but that is completely optional and gives you even more moonstones with it. I really don't feel like them changing up especially looking at speed Storme and what happened after it whent free to play.

I cannot however justify making the game paid, the expansions paid but still see micro transactions to access in game content?! Like you said, pick a lane!

Life Makeover is also graphically stunning. for the most part, I feel I'm getting my money's worth. DDV feels phoned in and like it was made to capitalize on the cozy game boom. The graphics are meh at best, and nightmare fuel at worst.

There are even content creators apologizing to their community because they were sponsored by Gameloft to promote this game with the main selling point that it would be free to play. You can't tell me that's not fucked up. This game is gonna crash and burn and only then will they rethink their decision. Seen it before.

I'm surprised that anyone was surprised tbh! 😂They kept quiet on making it F2P for so long that I'm convinced they were hoping people would forget they ever promised that.

I just learned about this game recently, and from what I’m seeing, this game looks like an alpha stage. The lack of smooth-dynamic animations, the unpolished ui and dialogue, the awkward lighting that puts most characters in shadow. It does have a beautiful art style, as Disney always does, but the game itself doesn’t even feel satisfying to look at. Not to mention, when the a huge chunk of game is building and decorating, the claim that locking items and decor behind micro transactions isn’t “paywalling gameplay” is just a lie

I do agree that having ppl who paid for early access should NOT have to keep paying MORE on top of that. Especially for those two bundles of Wall-E and Ursula they put out, that should have been FREE imo. I hate saying, but i did pay for extra moonstones on the ursula bundle because it was easier and I am biased for Little Mermaid. Guess im not getting it on Steam then too, already have it on Switch.

Hope you may recover soon, Satch, you are in my thoughts and prayers, make sure to rest!

Disney isn't for everyone anymore. Only upper middle class kids get to enjoy Disney nowadays. F everyone else because all they need is a few 'whales' to make a cashgrab game feasable.

So far it is not (I regret buying it 😢)

Disney and greed are sisters yknow.

This reminded me of when I tried to return to Monster Hunter World, the expansion added quests that were very difficult for players at low levels and with lower level gear to complete alone, and even after farming for better equipment, those new quests were still difficult. Coop is the only way to do those quests for the average player, but when you played on PlayStation, coop was a feature you needed to pay for. It seemed like you paid for the game but then had to pay to play the game you already paid because you couldn’t play it alone otherwise. This turned me away from the game, especially since I returned to it at a time when the next game in the series had been released, so not many frequent players were left, and it’s not definite that you would always have other people joining your quests. Anyway, this is the first thing I could think of when Satch was explaining how you pay for Dreamlight Valley, then pay for dlc as well as the in game currency.

I bought this game and was looking forward to the free version so that I could play with my friends who couldn't afford it. Now I wish I hadn't gotten it. DLC, cosmetics, etc. etc. etc. It's all greed. I'm not amused. Especially when the game has so many bugs!

Earlier this year, I found myself in a mild argument in the comments of a TikTok video with someone. They called me all sorts of things because I said, in my opinion, there shouldn't be a battle pass/premium store in an early access game and that it smelled fishy to me. I bet they feel pretty silly right now.

Everyone seems to think this game is owned and operated by Disney, it isn't, it's owned by Gameloft....that isn't Disney folks...

I genuinely have no idea why anyone would pay for this game, any dlc or micro transactions. It’s looks and plays exactly like a mobile game… who would pay £30 for a mobile game??? Insanity

This is exacly a reason (just one reason of many) why i have not bought the game and will never buy it. But i do enjoy watching people play it and following the dramatic evolution of this game is also entertaining 👀

DDV is made by gameloft, a french developer. they only have the Disney assets, Disney is not involved in the game

This is why I stopped playing the EA after about 6 hours of gameplay. Once I saw the moonstone offer, I noped and uninstalled it right away. I'd rather spend $29.99(that's $10 cheaper than Dreamlight's BASE game) for Coral Island (or ‎$24.99 if you buy it now while it's still in Early Access. Don't worry, full version is gonna be released in Nov 14th this year. So basically you saved $5 no sweat). I bought the EA key years ago and even in EA, there were so much content it honestly surprised me. The game is similar genre to Dreamlight Valley and Stardew, farming, ranching(you can get peacock/peafowl and Llama folks!),fishing, combat, collect stuff etc. The world is rendered in full 3D. And the 2D arts(NPC portraits, item icons etc) were inspired by Disney/Pixar style. The game itself revolves around restoring the ocean and its environment and cultural & racial diversity. Rather than rely on brand loyalty and microtransaction to keep it alive. With MORE content incoming in future updates(which is gonna be FREE). And it's made by veteran devs who actually cares about players input and not how fat their bank accounts are. And all of the DLCs for the game so far were 100% made & donated for charity. Downside, this is a PC(Steam) game, it's not a mobile game. But it is Steam Deck compatible, and also will be released on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. Nintendo Switch version is planned to be released sometime in 2024 though, if you want to wait. Multiplayer(up to 4P) are also planned sometime in 2024.

I’m not mad they’re going to charge for it considering I bought the founders pack - my issue is that they’ll have micro transactions ON TOP of a base price

This solidified I made the right choice on not buying the game

Not paying for a game that requires in game purchases...

what bothers me are the retrded enablists who allow greedy corporates to continue being greedy

August 1st 2022. The Satch made a video about the the upcoming Nightmare Valley game which was going to be freemium. As we know, freemium cellphone games are the work of the canadian devil. Thus, on 8/1 I said "even if the game should have a good start I shall still be skeptical". So what can I say? Told Ya? Yes, I think I'm going with TOLD YA!

I wish I could refund my money.

It's super glitchy on the switch, it kicks you out after awhile. I stopped playing the game after I had to pay for moonstones to finish their missions. I'm like really?! I hate that!

Crazy that the game is already in the 'lets milk the existing player base for what theyre worth' stage of DLC and it has not even released

The day they implemented micro transactions I logged off, uninstalled the game and never looked back. I refuse to be asked to pay for stuff in a game I already paid for

Dreamlight Valley isn’t Disney)s problem, it is Gameloft’s problem.

Not this slippery slope of all the free updates now turning into full £30 expansion packs… especially after I purchased the release for £70. Just feels cash grabby that now you can get essentially the base game, expansion and gold edition content (which I’ll get anyway) for the same price, if not lower, than what someone who has supported the game from the start (choosing to pay a high price rather than just waiting a year - or so we though - for it to be free) is getting? Sure I got extra content when I purchased it but would I rather have a few cosmetic items or have been told the truth that i have essentially thrown £30 in the bin? Hmm, I’ll take the £30. Can’t support this game any longer, my cash grab money will still funnel to the sims as much as I am upset with myself for that too.

Disney not trying to be greedy for one second ( Impossible )

My tip if you want to have a Disney game without micro-transactions: go play Kingdom Hearts 1,2 and 3! It's a total different game but it's FULLY DISNEY themed. It's honestly a good triology!

Hmm I wonder if Sims Rene will do this I know they are saying free to enter but I am thinking they might go with the same model. Luckily I don't have Disney Dream Light but its terrible they are asking for this much money.

There's no need to pay for Moonstones because there's no competitive aspect, even with multiplayer. People talk about the competition of the Dreamsnaps but don't kid yourself.

I'm not surprised, Disney had been trying to get a better footing video game wise. On the other hand, I get way more out of Dreamlight than I do The Sims currently, so I'm okay with paying.

Disney having a confusing model where endgame cost is unclear…not surprised.

As soon as monetization was introduced in the game my sister-in-law uninstalled the game for her daughter and blocked the game from ever being downloaded. She explained to her daughter why she was blocking the game. I have a very sneaky suspicion they have known for more than few that it wasn't going to be F2P. The game on the Switch is a walking mess. Filled with bugs and other issues. Issues in other platforms too. But mostly on the Switch. They shouldn't be releasing a game that is riddled with bugs. Honestly I am not surprised. I said right from the start this game will never ever go F2P, ever. Yup! I was right. Knew it!

I play this SOLELY from my gamepass. I won't give Disney a penny of my money directly. I was eagerly awaiting the F2P because imo Disney has more money than God and I couldn't justify the price as it was. I'm an avid payer for my games. Sims 4 being my literal ONLY exception because I can't afford the ridiculous game packs that should be included in base game anyway, but yeah I really hope everyone who was dropping money on Dreamlight? Yeah, stops. Disney doesn't need this cash grab gimmick to make quality games. They are friggin loaded.

I really hate what Disney does in the last past years and nowadays. I miss the old Disney with creativ ideas and also goo videogames like Spectrobes or Kingdom Hearts. Disney has changed so much over the years and sadly they getting more and more greedy and worst...

The games comes out of early access on Dec 5th. I enjoy the game and I’m very excited for the expansion. ❤❤❤

I stopped playing it when I couldn’t even hardly afford any of the furniture or outfits unless I was glued to my screen trying to grind for it and that’s just not enjoyable for me at all.

Yeah, is very confusing. I still don’t get it. You have to do a premium account to purchase dlc? Or you can still buy dlc with base account? Do any new update is only for premium pass? Or there are still free updates? Why they change idea about free game in the beginning? Without warning before and pretending to forget it. Is the multiplayer mode a premium thing or not?

Now I'm just hoping Palia keeps their word, this is actually good for them so that maybe even more people will go to it, especially when it releases on console, fingers crossed. I'd prefer to play it on my switch in bed rather than my pc.

The game rating is “ meh “ and with their statement the game and its lore is “ forgotten “.

I'm so glad I didn't get into that one, I saw the writing on the wall.

That's easy, with the amount of money they put on gamers (whoever plays games is a gamer, not only the ones who play sh*oting games) to promote them with the "free" perk they must've reached a point where they are "okay, now we scam then"

Yeah I’m annoyed with this change. It was okay when they just had the three packs which felt like enough. How can they add DLC to a game that’s already paid and adding micro transactions.

Gameloft not Disney

Not yet but it will the supporters of DLV have given Gamesloft the ok to bleed them try I expect things to get more and more expensive with fewer and fewer free updates with key characters being behind a paywall in the future.

I'm happy that I didn't invest in this game. I was genuinely interested at the beginning when it first released in EA, but after realizing that Gameloft was behind it, I immediately decided to leave it be. Right from the start, I knew they were going to do this. Disney and Gameloft are greedy and have no respect or consideration for their consumers.

This is how the Sims 5 will be....

The only Disney game I have is the Kingdom Hearts Series. And I Love it. 😂

I was waiting for the free version lol. Guess I’ll have to keep waiting …

The sims you can get a LOT more items for $5 in Sims then you can get in DDLV which is sad

This game was was to grindy. Some quests had way to much Items to grind. I had to stop it.

Disney do be Disneying

The thing is, the micro transactions are verry verry not necessary. You can get the primium currency verry easily every week and afford everything else n the shop and the battle pass with verry little effort. I haven't spend any money on micro transactions since the game lunched and I have pretty much everything from the premium shop and battle passes. The game only costs $30 Canadian if you bought the ultimate edition for a free game, that's on you and not necessarily bad but it's not worth getting upset about. and the dlc is only going to be $30 compared to destiny 2 which is free but dlc costs $70. We get plenty of free characters and quests almost every month where Overwatch 2 charges for characters, skins and each individual story update while offering bobe of the premium currency at all and don't even get me started with fortnight and their daily premium shop with pretty much no way to earn premium currency for free and their two subscription plans and battle pass. Disney dreamlight vally does have micro transactions but it is far from as bad as any free to play game out there right now and has a lower price point than any pay to play game right now with most of them costing $80 just for the base game. Especially looking at how Disney speed Storme turned out after going free to play, I'm verry happy that dreamlight vally won't be fallowing the same path I also dont think its as bad as the sins 4 yet at least. Like i saud ive only had to pay for the initial game and havent felt the need to spend anything else yet after a year of playing and getting most of the items from the premium shop and battle pass. Yes ill have to pay $30 to get the doc but thats better than $60 for a expansion pack in the sims 4.

Yeah, I totally agree, there are very worst pay-to-win games out there. I’m just worried about dreamlight future. Do the updates will remain free or not? Do I have to use real money or moonstones to buy dlcs? Is not very clear

@@skaiiravenom I believe there will still be free updates just the occasional dlc side story. And I believe you will have to pay using real money just like most games when it comes to dlc. I will say however, the one thing I do take issue with is that characters will be stuck behind the dlc wall. I get character costumes, outfits, decorations and quest but not full on characters especially when it's characters like Gaston and Rapunzel why are verry popular and eve who has appeared in game artwork for the base game. But that's the only issue I have so far

charing for a core mechanic is messed up

@@19Rena96 for the characters yes I agree but the dlc story I believe is going to be separate from the main story just like what most games do. The core mechanics of this game are farming, fishing, friendship and decorating. One of these are exclusive to the dlc other than the characters which again I do have issues with Edit: What do you mean by chore mechanics do you mean extra missions for the star path? Because that's not unique to this game and the game provides you more than enough moonstones to get it for free and never have to pay for it using real money

I was waiting for this game to become free and I was even going to buy some stuff in game as well (if it was a reasonable price) but now I'm not interested anymore

Disney dreamlight valley is literally the Disney version of animal crossing 😂😂

if it had became free the in paid stuff would get worse not better this way im hoping they dont add more in paid stuff

oh no the sims is way more cashgrabby. I totally disapprove what you say

Just because one thing is worse than the other does not excuse the fault of the less bad one -.- They are both cashgrabby end of.

First! Love your videos Satch 🩷

See I'm okay with it not being F2P. Also the DDV Reddit for 6 months was nothing but negative about it being F2P. GL listened and pulled that aspect. Speed Storm is now F2P and the micro transactions are wild now. Gonna point out that these are the same people who WILLINGLY buy Kits and Packs from SIMS for more that have significantly less content or buy single map expansions in COD and Battlefield for the same amount with less content. Like it really feels like the people who play this game have never played an online MMO. It feels like this game is going in the direction of WoW or FF online. They're trying to make it big and follow the giants in the industry who already set the standards. I feel for ppl who were waiting but, at the same time I was waiting with so much anticipation for the second Jedi game. I have a PS4 and they said nope its only playable on PS5. NO ONE batted an eye even tho they gave stupid reasons as to why its only a next gen console game. So I either budget for it or I watch someone play it. No biggie. Them being mad about it not being cross platform play, meaning the game transfers DOESNT EXIST ANYWHERE. Even in bigger games like Destiny, FF Online, WoW, etc you have to buy for that console/PC or you don't play it at all. This is not a GL issue. This is a standard cause of coding being different between platforms. On the DDV Reddit someone said "well most games choose 2 sources of income. Not every option." Tell me you've never played an online MMO without telling me you've never played one. FF Online has a premium store, you pay for an online subscription AND you pay for every expansion that hits the floor. It's STANDARD. It's kinda frustrating to hear people dog on GL for stuff that they are not the only ones doing it. Like wut? It really feels like the people complaining are just complaining to complain. Just say you want the entire game for free and don't want to pay developers what they deserve for their work cause you "deserve" it as an early access member. It's shorter, to the point, and cuts through the whining/complaining on the toxic cesspool that is the DDV Reddit.

I thought I was playing it for free this whole time. Am I playing the wrong one because I know I never paid for it ?

It's free rn if you have Xbox Game Pass. Or maybe you got a free code?

The game is good, ONLY if its free. If you consider this game at the price tag they are charging for, its actually apallingly shitty. Its glitchy as hell, the graphics are bad, the UI is bad, its a pain in the ass to decorate if you arent on computer, and the animations are kind of laughable.

Lucky me. I can't play this game bc it makes me motion sick. 😅 So I could never got into it. Now I don't have to feel bad about it.

I was waiting for it to be free to play ;-; I'll probably pirate it though

How is this different from Fortnite though? Don't they have the same set up? Like where you still have to buy the base game and then there's a battle pass you can pay for and also have in game items/cosmetics you can purchase as well???? I'm not seeing how this is a new, greedy concept...
