The first friend I made in this game is a korean. We played together everyday for months until she stopped coming online. This was probably during Season of Dreams too because that was my moth season and me and her were moths together. I wondered why she stopped playing then, perhaps this controversy could be the reason why.

ngl the way u communicated with the moth so well is impressive to me that im adding to my "adulting" playlist to use as reference for comforting others cuz my autistic ass usaully just ends up saying "bruh." "damn..." and "that sucks"

I have so much things to say about this game but i'll just say this instead: there's a reason why eventually people just abandon this game suddenly and never come back again

..they exist..?

why do you keep using laughing emoji when he is sharing his thoughts about the game.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH I CAN'T

I'm just kinda sad now since my mom told me its useless to do "IAP" since it was just a game, and I couldn't buy that cute shoes, so yeah.

I've been playing since Sanctuary and ngl I feel like I should just buy season passes so I don't have to grind as bad when the cosmetics I missed return. At least I only have to play 10-20 minutes daily rather than 2 hours...I never have and never will recommend this game to anyone.

I didn't mind the rutine of candle run, it calmed my anxiety to do the same thing everyday, it gave a sense of control. Also I could purchase things in a moment when in my real life I couldn't. And I was fine, once I learned how to save up, I wasn't stressing and was able to purchase everything I wanted without logging every day. However, I stopped playing when they changed everything. The changed in homespace made me sad, how they abandoned that place, the way I had to visit places I didn't like to get to the events, and the amount of special events was to much! Days of fashion killed the lore for me, why were sky kids wearing jeans! And then, when they changed the monetary system to have special coins for each event, I couldn't anymore. I understand that it was a way to relief the pressure to get candles, but, as hermione sais: "there must be another way!". Besides, THEN I had to log in every day because my candles were useless. There were to many events happening, at the same time to many sidequests, to many human like activities... I didn't like it anymore. Days of fortune was my favorite! And they changed it to valley of triumph, so it was harder for me to catch it. Oh my, I have so many complaints, but because I do miss it :(

I saw the headline and it made me sad, so I clicked the video, and it made me happy again.

what i am frustrated about is the fact that the account I used, that i have spent hours of gameplay on and have unlocked so many cosmetics.. that account is reset. i am not even frustrated. I am livid.

Little moth little moth people aren't crazy if they don't want to give you hearts😂

To all watching this vid, please come check the game today, a lot has happened, and the devs made incredible improvements.

I love this game so damn much and played it so much but once i finished my first playthrough it just didn't feel the same the second time then after the third i didnt even bother trying to progress anymore just ran around helping moths

3 years of playing sure get me tired of it, and so I rest for 2-3 months for skipping a lot things

I feel like if they add more Verity of stuff instead of exploring alll the time doing nothing it would help but the game has just been grind after grind for the past few years and I can't dedicate myself that much

I'm still very new to Sky but I love it despite playing it in this era. Here's why: I consider everything after you see after the credits as post-game stuff. Sky is a strange game because instead of something like Animal Crossing where it's a collection and grind game for the start, it starts off as a story/exploration/MMORPG type-game and only switches genres after the credits roll, with the gameplay being so different after you've explored all the realms and gone through the story. For me, THAT is what I was there for - from when I first landed in Aviary Village to when I walked off in Orbit. To me, Sky is a game that is SUPPOSED to end. You can explore some of the updates and get the cosmetics after you finish but that's all optional stuff. Your sense of completion should come from making it to the credits, not unlocking every spirit's friendship trees. So, for me, I'm moving on to other games and checking back in every once in a while. Sky is a game meant to be as infinite or finite as you want it to be. If you want to grind, grind away! If, after you've experienced all the realms for the first time, you want to maybe hop in once every few months, that's cool too. It's even cool to never play it again after you roll the credits, or never even get to Eye of Eden because you're too busy racing around in the Valley and experiencing all those fly-throughs again and again while you hang out with friends and strangers. It's up to the player to decide when the game ends, not the game itself. So, maybe, to have the most fun with the game, we have to let it go.

I love this game but I’m VERY shy, so when I try to make any type of friends in the game it’s hard. It’s even worse when more than half the players are always grinding trying to get wax. Obviously because of FOMO, but I just miss the player connection.

Krills don't scare me. I see them as burnt feisty sausages. Who want to give love. Even if it sucks the light out of us. Lol. Crazy imagination

you described my exact feelings after the 3 months of playing. at first it was so much fun to discover the world, but the more i played the more i kept asking myself, where is the lore? the story was so limited, it didn’t feel like i knew anything at all… or perhaps it wasn’t obvious enough. i miss this game. i would be willing to pay for it if they just made the journey feel more impactful… just like with journey 😅

I was there during the controversy around and it was HEATED, even saw the korean social media from sky went from 12.5k followers to 8k and down to 5k (at the time)

Luckily I’m a boy kisser

My GOD MY FRIEND IS SGNing! Hahahahahahahahahhaahahahah TOoo FUNNY

The last one was so hilarious. They all were. Lol

To me, this game is a chatroom with dress up.

Are you still going to play? (I'm asking this question independently of the video.)

This sky when it was first released was soo beautiful and easily became my favorite game. I cried after completing the game - the first and only game made me do that. It really connected me at that time. But damn, what happened to this game? Can’t they just leave it alone and make another game?

Here's the thing, sky can be much more enjoyable depending on what you play it for. The truth is, most people play it for the cosmetics. For me, it's a lovely place to meet my friends. We chat, slowly collect candles, help each other. The thing about mobile games is, it's whole point is to make you want everything, kind of like most Gacha games today. Because no one will, well at least most people won't get everything but this will make them want to spend money on at least something. I think if you play sky as one of the games you regularly play instead of your main game it's breath of fresh air, especially if you have good friends. I think this is why it's called a 'social' adventure. It's very boring without friends.

The first time i played sky a couple players were trying to flirt with me and it kinda ruined my first impression of the game so i didnt touch sky for ~3 years, i was glad to find out that most players werent like that. Now all im dealing with is prices that leave EA rocking in the corner crying for their mom.

Some people really are interesting. I wonder if he thought (if Summer actually was a female) if Summer looked like their character, or he just acted like that because they found their next 'meal', as you could call it

Been playing for a few days after a few years. Having fun. I don't care that I missed a lot.

I've been playing for only a few months, and I'm a big fan of routine, but the grinding and constant cr on sky got to me, it started stressing me out to the point I would panick if I didn't get at least 15 candles per day, and I had no friends so it only made it worse; after a few months I met my only friend so far and he makes the game more fun tbh, I still like the little cr routine I have but I've been taking breaks ocasionally, and I'm starting to enjoy the actual exploring and social aspect of sky

To me the biggest problem with Sky is the lack of gameplay mechanics… Imagine if you could do mining, farming, more advanced fishing, or simply exploring hidden treasure across the sky kingdom (they would change to random locations every day) We need more reasons to explore, more things to do. For me at this point there’s practically nothing to do in this game. I explored everything, finished every quest, Socialized a lot, took photos, learned piano songs, candle running, etc… I have been playing for like 3 years and tried everything. Of course it gets repetitive and boring. If only we actually had any significant new mechanics like the ones I mentioned, you could play Sky in new different ways. But of course the only significant mechanic of this game is buying a season pass to get new cosmetics 🤦‍♂️ it’s all because of this 👉💲💸💵💴

Wait there can be toxic players in this game? how is that possible

Yeah this game sucks. Could've been better

i started playing the game in 2021 (when trials first came out) and i absolutely loved it. I made so many great friends bcs ppl that played it in general cared more about the aesthetics and story and the experiance itself playing the game. but ever sinse the season of shattering, and even before then, the game became idk how to say it, heavy? There was alway more and more grinding for events, limited items, and so much stuff to do at once it got overwhelming to play it at some point. The more players joined later after shattering the more the game was focused only on doing the same daily routine like candle runs and weekly eden and thats it. My friends more or less stoped playing it sometime around then aswell bcs it just didnt feel the same anymore. I took a break in the middle of shattering and came back a week ago, i barely even recognize any items i see random sky kids wearing, or all the quests i have to catch up on and all the shared spaces etc, it doesnt have the same vibe anymore. i miss when the game only had the few main worlds + eden and the seasonal part in one of the maps. It was so much easier to get around, there was no rush in getting anything cus there werent so many events and different updates constantly being announced. I still love the game, i just feel like i missed so much stuff in such a short time it feels like im a whole new player, idek all the wl locatioans and cr route

Really nice vid Well written script cut straight to the important part

For me, it was the lack of clear goal - cosmetics are repetitive and they don't even do anything. You can literally play this without me. I feel like this game focused on FOMO more. (I'm salty because I can't play Stardew Valley in co-op)

I love this guys editing, it's soo comedic 🤣

I'm a new player, so my perspective is still filled with honeymoon phase awe and wonder, however, I am still legitimately confused about this take (in general, I mean. I've seen it on multiple platforms now). Because as someone who comes from actually predatory games *cough* gacha *cough*, Sky isn't giving me any of the fomo and anxiety those do. What for? The cosmetics don't actually matter, do they? Correct me if I'm wrong, like I said, I'm new! I don't know everything yet, but from what I've seen, they don't impact the gameplay in any meaningful way. So what do I care when I miss out on some or even most? Sure, I want my sky kid to look cute, but not at all costs. Even the ultimate pass rewards don't look special enough for me to care at all and I doubt that will change unless they collab with one of my absolute top tier favorite fandoms or sth. In which case, they can gladly have my money. Until then tho, honestly, I'm good. It's been ages since I've experienced a mobile game of this level of quality, that didn't artificially restrict my gameplay with a stamina system, pushed me into a leveling grind and locked core functions behind paywalls or at the bare minimum was pay to progress significantly faster. This, compared to that, is just chill and vibes and feels really freeing. I can't think of a single comparable title that let me explore pretty much every realm on day 1. I mean, wth? I do agree though that the cosmetics are hellllllllla overpriced. I get they need to make money somehow and I don't mind their monetizaton system in general, like I said. I don't feel pressured by it at all which is a very nice change. But setting their prices that high is a very odd choice considering all it really does is look pretty. I imagine they might even make more money with lower prices because more people might be willing to spend, but idk, that's neither here nor there.

im a returning lightseekers moth and when i saw they patched up almost every OOB or table trick we used to do to go to crazy places was insane... and how they removed the beta cape from the shop? i remember buying the fur cape + the crow mask on the shop for a decent price and the healing pack for supporting doctors during COVID... the prices back then tbf were okay. but now???? im hearing my friends spend away almost 60 bucks for a cape and a buggy broom? its MIND BLOWING. im honestly dissapointed with how sky is rn. I miss when they would leave us little tid-bits about lore and the elders, and how we would go on and make up theories.. sky's backbone now its its IAP and probably their chinese market. They need to start giving attention to the core idea of sky: exploration, lore, story and adventure! heck, i even get a bit teary-eyed missing their bright yellow ass buttons instead of the more muted ones you have now! and the little box dimensions.. ATP lets just make the veterans the new CEO's xD

“Isnt this a dating game” I thought this was a kids game

I remember playing the early days of Sky before there was so much cosmetics

Welcome back. Lol

I'm very bad with repetitive things, especially FOMO aspects. I fall out of games FAST. It's for the monotony of Sky 3 years ago that I fell out of playing shortly after Season of Prophecy. (After checking, it's officially been 4 years. Wow.)

I remember being like: *"HA, I'm glad I never ran into these people"* *I was mistake*

Tbh i only go to eden or wasteland, cuz ATLEAST something happens instead of grinding and grinding all day

Oh, ese es Kai, lo reté a hacer un video de calificación de avatar, ja, ja, ja, y no traduzcas este pws.

I have a friend (who I'll assume does not speak english well and is a child) tell me they love me. She said "i love you, you love me" and 😀 girl we are friends

Exactly y I stopped for 2 years as well
