A long time ago in a galaxy far far away....
There used to be a monthly crystal subscription for $9.99 that was a great deal and something players loved to spend on. However it was unexpectedly removed with the promise that something would take its place in the future...but still nothing.

Any hope of ever getting this back into the works?

This games built with rich folks in mind. People with way too much disposable income. Everything's way overpriced and I've been crying the same thing since 2015. Yall charge too much for the stuff you offer...it isnt worth it .
But the day you bring back something like the $10 daily packs you,ll have my purchase every single month. Til then...nope.
The well priced gear packs were nice too! But we've only bought them once because you never have them available except for brief randomly assigned times. Sorry, dont got money in my pocket to spend at any given time like that, I gotta budget things every month... which I would alot to you guys a small portion....if it was worth it and could be relied upon to be available!
Which is a good thing soon they will slap a 19+ age restriction on games with microtransactions, and then microtransactions will go away. Companies are too greedy, u gotta let the government put them in their places
I get the subscription laws of the EU crashed that. But why couldnt there be one 9.99 pack a month of 3000 crystals?
That’s the type of outside the box thinking that would work but they never implemented. It was 21 days of crystals of 100 a day plus a bonus 100 to start. So 2200 total.
That would actually be a great idea to do once a month. A 2200 crystal pack for $9.99 and boom, you get around the subscription stuff.
I think it depends on how the subscription works. I don't remember these monthly crystal packs, but didn't you have to log in every day to get all of the crystals? If that's the case, then the subscription might be against the rules because, technically, someone could pay for 2200 crystals but not get 2200 crystals because they missed a log in.
And speaking on SWGOH... I'm playing SWGOH for 2 or 3 years, and other mobile game for about half a year. One-time purchases in both games are priced on more or less same level. Yet I already spent much more money in another game just because they aren't greedy and offer nice subscriptions and loyalty options ("subscribed" currency is about ten times cheaper that regular purchases, for example) along with occasional sale bonuses.
Had I have same option in SWGOH i'd definitely used it. But if this game doesn't want my money... well, it's not my problem. SWGOH is relatively friendly for f2p and whales, and, in most cases, just pure waste of money for anyone in between imo.
Yeah I'd buy that every single month
What does that mean, exactly? What “partner agreements”?
I doubt anyone who doesn't work for CG (or maybe only EA) knows that.
There are several companies that are partners and have agreements with EA/CG to make this game possible. We were told that one of those is what caused it to be removed and is the primary reason it cant come back as a "subscription"
Even if not a subscription, the idea of a once a month bundle available for $9.99 for the equivalent of the old crystal subscription would still be enough. 2200 crystals for $10. Sounds good to me 🤷🏻♂️
A subscription gives you access to the game platform like WoW or bonus content like map packs similar to Call of Duty of bonus content like Assassins Creed.
This game is free to play, spending optional.
Hardly. But certainly there are some people who believe a company would say "Hey, we like money very much, and we think players should spend thousands of dollars in the game. Therefore, we will cancel least expensive options and introduce more expensive".
