The Disgusting Monetization Of Clash Royale

Respectful articulation of the level problem & accurate! Evolutions (when they’re balanced) and new fun content are a massive W but level 15 feels like a massive unnecessary grind to me. Wish we got the new content without the level - that’d be the update everyone wants 🤝

B-Rad, I appreciate you and the other creators for sticking up for everyone.

I was a f2p player, it took me literally years of casual playing to max a single deck. I never really grinded hard, I used my own non-meta deck, which put me at a big disadvantage, I was already sick of loosing because I wanted to play for fun with my own deck instead of using meta. Then I heard the news of level 15, and I deleted the app. It took me so long just to be on a “level” playing field, and I’m never going to be on a level field again. It’s sad to see greed destroy another game I once loved, I just hope the same fate doesn’t happen to clash of clans.

it’s crazy how an extremely skilled player can easily lose to someone who has zero skill BUT he has his moms credit card

Yeah it’s still insane how you can create new content after such a long period of bad updates

Mad respect for not just rolling over and taking it. We can’t let supercell walk all over us like this

Mad respect for you, speaking for all of us, no sugarcoating, no bullshit. Straight facts and truth. I'm done with this game but I'm gonna keep watching you :)

I’ve been playing for 7 years and I completely agree with the points addressed here. Despite having my deck all lvl14 cards, it is impossible if I use anything else since the level difference is so significant. Sad to see how much the game downgraded, would love to see it back in the top mobile charts like 2016.

We tell Supercell what we want and they refuse to do it. We tell Supercell what we DON'T WANT and they implement it. Thank you Brad for voicing out for the community, for being our voice. Thank you.

If this game dies, I strongly believe you are entertaining enough to branch out. I will keep watching you even if you play something like candy crush. It's awesome to see creators standing against stupidity.

in less than a year they added evos, lvl 15 and tower troops... this game is literally uplayable as f2p. no matter how much you play you can never catch up and always be put in a disadvantage

It’s actually ridiculous. I played Clash Royale since September 2016. I’ve seen the good, the bad, and ugly with this game. When Royal Giant came out, I didn’t complain. When Elite Barbs came out, I didn’t complain. When Firecracker came out, I didn’t complain. I’ve grinded up to about 4800 trophies, back when the cap was 5000 trophies. Then Level 15 came out, and I was grinding ladder, and get beaten by a Level 15 Elite Firecracker against my complete Level 14 deck—the same one I’ve used in tournaments and always did well with. I said okay, fine. How do I get a Level 15 card myself? MONEY. Otherwise, It would take RAW MONTHS of grinding nonstop to get just ONE card to Level 15. I had enough. I was the number 2 in my clan (second oldest member) which existed since 2018 and it always stayed active. I apologized to the clan and deleted the game on the spot. Haven’t even touched the game or anything Clash Royale related until this video. I hope Supercell learns their lesson, or else this trend of vet players deleting the game will then turn into new players becoming discouraged as they move up the ladder and deleting it too.

B-Rad making a 10min+ video with 0 jokes and 0 music just hits different Thanks for fighting for this game and saying these things with a voice that actually has a chance of being heard by the devs! And remember, you have hundreds of thousands of people behind you, many of which would probably stay, even if you decided to quit CR Making this video was (imho) the right call in every way, so again: Thank you! Edit: Yes, there are arguably like one or two jokes in there, but saying „B-Rad making a 12:10min+ video with several minor jokes and the only music that plays being that of the CR announcement video he reacts to hits slightly differently“ just doesn’t quite have the same ring to it, you know? 💀

I don't play the game anymore But B-rad made me understand the pain of level 15🙂 thanks for standing for the community💞

The interesting thing about boycotting level 15 (which i support) is that SC has already factored it into their plans. They claim that level 15 is not meant for everyone. It’s just for those individuals who play for progression. They also claim it’s meant to take a very, very long time. So when they see no one upgrading to 15, they’ll see it as working according to plan. There will be some players, who know nothing of the boycott, upgrading a card here or there to level 15, and they’ll say, “See, not everyone has to upgrade to 15. It didn’t break the game.” I think a more effective boycotting strategy would be for players to not spend any money on the game, and to collectively not log into the game. Because ultimately, that’s what SC wants to avoid. They don’t care if you’re mad or glad, so long as you log in and spend money on the game.

Thanks for taking a stand B-rad! I'm about to hang my hat up on the game at this point.

My respect for B-Rad:📈 This video shows that he actually cares for the game and wants players to enjoy it. I have been playing for 7 years and its depressing to see how bad the game has become in the last 3 years. Edit: Thanks for 500 likes! first time on a cr video

glad you're speaking out, if anyone's gonna make a difference it's you 💪

You can feel b-rad's emotion while talking about this... So much frustration.. it's the community voice talking through this guy. You have all my respect man! You step in for us, the community while being at risk to lose your creator code or who knows what else. You are amazing <3

After 7 years, playing though all game modes, through all seasons, making my way to being maxed out on level 14 and supporting and pushing my clan to top10 local I've stoped playing this game. B-rad is on point, now more than even. Good luck Supercell and B-rad I'll be around for your next game. Thanks for everything, you're a star.
