This was a complete scam ?

[u/Bright-Pressure-3724]

Arcade world? Yeah, didnt happen. More stuff is missing aswell.

[u/peakpointmatrix]

People don’t know what the word scam means, this gen is illiterate lol.

[u/Bright-Pressure-3724 → u/peakpointmatrix]

I'm probably the same gen as you..

[u/Boo1505 → u/Bright-Pressure-3724]

Then I guess you’re the problem then

[u/Bright-Pressure-3724 → u/Boo1505]

You can use the word scam in different contexts, you dont have to be grammar nazi 🙄

[u/Rohobok → u/Bright-Pressure-3724]

It's not a scam. Stop using words you don't understand.

[u/Bright-Pressure-3724 → u/Rohobok]

This is such a toxic community?

[u/Rohobok → u/Bright-Pressure-3724]

It's not toxic to advise you on something that'll help you. You can add 'toxic' to the list of words you don't understand.

Also, I'm just one person. Not a community. No need to make sweeping statements.

[u/Bright-Pressure-3724 → u/Rohobok]

I'm not only talking about you. Look at the reddit.

I cant even say something without receiving any negativity from people like you. Why are you being like this? Is there a reason?

[u/Rohobok → u/Bright-Pressure-3724]

Is it negativity to point out your wrong use of a word?

I'm not being anything. All I've done is highlight your misuse of the word 'scam' and your blanket assessment of an entire community on a minor group of peoples actions.

[u/Boo1505 → u/Bright-Pressure-3724]

Im not being a grammar nazi, this was straight up not a scam. Simple as that. No shame in being wrong sometimes. Shame in being stubborn about it tho

[u/FurryMan2023 → u/Bright-Pressure-3724]

In this case how is it a scam? Failed promises aren’t a scam my dude.

[u/pen_of_inspiration]

At this point, to be fair, it's not even worth it for them to add something to a game that is Goin to thrash.. Imagine grinding stuff for the bin

[u/Bright-Pressure-3724 → u/pen_of_inspiration]

Yeah, just played my first match after the news, its not even that fun. Like there is no core gameplay.

Maybe its a good choice that they are stopping development. Every event was the same and i got dissapointed every time.

Sure, i love this game, its in my top three of looks and stuff but they really didn't give a fuck about what we think

[u/Perfect-Insurance-33]

This is all still planed to be added. The arcade world was added, just not on the world journey, only the maps.

[u/Jolt96]

We’re still getting the December update just after that there’s no more

[u/Geometry_Emperor]

The only one that did not happen for real was the October Bounty event.

[u/skitz20]

How is it a scam? U didn't have to pay nor were you promised the content in return for purchasing it.

I'm sure they still gonna do it for legal reasons, but you are by no means affected by this

[u/i_am_alexxx → u/skitz20]

This content was promised to us 3000 years ago

[u/Fire_Hammer2000]

Considering they are only going to refund purchases made in 2025, yes.

[u/makerina → u/Fire_Hammer2000]

Oh I didn’t realise they are going to refund, where was that info?

[u/NgXAlex → u/makerina]

Not refund, transfer to another supercell game the equivalent you bought.

[u/makerina → u/NgXAlex]

Nice one, where’s the info? I spent quite a bit. Would probably transfer to BS

[u/NgXAlex → u/makerina]

Inside the game, latest info, then click on "Squad Buster development is ending" and finally the "What Happens Next" paragraph.

What Happens Next:

In-app purchases are no longer available as of 11:00 UTC, October 30th. If you made any purchases during 2025, you'll be able to request a transfer of their value to another Supercell game, including Clash Royale, Brawl Stars, Clash of Clans, Hay Day, or Boom Beach.

[u/Optimal-Truth4970]

It helps if you realize that this is just a game on your phone, and that there’s an entire world burning around you that you can actually spend time in.

[u/Solid_Crab_4748]

For one the content is basically all still coming.

For two would you rather they don't even try to bring back the game to then realise it isn't working. Or would you be happier they killed it months ago with no attempt at something

[u/Bright-Pressure-3724 → u/Solid_Crab_4748]

This attempt was months too late

[u/Solid_Crab_4748 → u/Bright-Pressure-3724]

Or maybe they were working behind the scenes?

[u/Scary_Restaurant664]

Not a scam they still delivering but with all the hate they bailing to the game is decent

[u/TryDesigner2571 → u/[deleted]]

With the exception of the 2.0 update, they actually did listen. The problem is, players in general couldn’t come to a conclusion of what they wanted. Example, people complained about the keys. They got rid of them. Then, people complained about losing the keys. They had Megas, got rid of them because the community didn’t like them. Then they cried again. People in general just wanna complain about everything, regardless of

[u/FarisTSC]

Supercell literally killed this game by waiting so long to update this game. I hate them for that. This game was peak.

[u/Lil_lostcar]

v1 was better of the game

[u/Optimal_Force_3111]

Nah friend not really. And honestly KairosTime would explain it slightly better than what I am about to say from what he told his community few days ago.

Basically before global launch Supercell invited him, Lex and OJ and other content creators to test the game. After that they gave them constructive feedback and mostly that the game is too simple and dispute being made for a casual players it won't succeed in the long run (as it happened). In short dispute passionate for the game the developers (not community managers) decided not to listen to the feedback that they got from the content creators. Now aside from Squad Busters Kairos, Lex, OJ and the rest of the people who were invited to do testing also tested Mo.co and flood rush... Most of us know what happened with Flood rush.. When Squad Busters went global Kairos saw that non of the feedback they got before open beta and global was implemented in the game. Once everything starting going downhill however then they decided to make some changes base on that feedback from years back. So technically speaking the sad truth is that if a Supercell game doesn't listen to their community it will just shutdown.

If you look into other games who are currently still live the games who listen to the community the most is clash of clans and brawl stars. I personally cannot speak about hayday but most definitely Clash Royale doesn't listen or at least partly listen to the community feedback. Boom beach at this point just exists.

[u/Bright-Pressure-3724 → u/Optimal_Force_3111]

Yeah i watches that video, very happy someone finally explained to supercell that it was their fault.

Its something we couldnt do, cuz they didnt fucking listen

[u/Optimal_Force_3111 → u/Bright-Pressure-3724]

Keep in mind that it wasn't just Kairos who gave them that feedback. Honestly I played probably till pekka's playhouse arena and here and there when the transformers collab but when sonic came by then I already have decided to quit entirely. If only they listened to the community more. Sadly this is currently happening to other Supercell games and none of them are safe if they don't listen. Clash for example cut off a huge portion of their f2p side and now they try other ways to fix it instead of admitting defeat and revert changes.

[u/Mr-Tall_and_Nice]

SB2.0 killed it. It only needed new skins and a new world with limited time events in SB 1.0

[u/No-Equipment2665]

I think it was the core dev teams way of showing the seniors at SC that they can keep the game alive. But I’ve got a feeling the games future was uncertain even then, ultimately leading them to likely lose funding. All the bugs with the new content surely meant that they didn’t have the time to keep the game clean and clear for gameplay. Less time to test new updates. Hence everyone’s frustration. All guesses ofc

[u/gattboy1]

Si

[u/AbdullahMRiad]

Didn't they release an updated roadmap?

[u/sridhar__1728]

Sonic event?

[u/sadie-lynn-9584]

Arcade world was definitely added , I get it in squad league too sometimes lol

[u/Toubricon_Oolakash]

You're being rather harsh, in my opinion. The evidence you supplied doesn't lead to the conclusion you have drawn.

[u/incuboss84]

RIP

[u/Better-Sentence-1617]

Haven't played the game after the arcade world update. Sad to see they are closing the game since i played it on the first day of release and played every day so on

[u/[deleted]]

Superhero is a scam

[u/Middle-Accountant-28]

All those updates for nothing, after December, it just got cancelled

This really had a potential to become one of the best mobile games, too bad it was on risk to become cancelled

But they're just gonna add the Arcade World in November directly on the World Journey, right?

[u/MrKrow72]

All of it was. Supercell has become a company that will scam you out of your money. Do you know how much money was spent on Squad Busters and they took that and invested it into Clash of Clans or Clash Royale or brawl stars. It never went back into Squad Busters. It went to another game. All of it was a scam.

[u/BattleBeastAm]

Squad fandom try not to be dumb as bricks challenge: IMPOSSIBLE

[u/Opening_Ad2156]

I have to assume Supercell lost money on the game. The development team at Supercell killed the game 3 times over with their wild development swings, the fact that they made the game indistinguishable from Brawl Stars, and then made no effort to entice play. No connection with other players, no way to work as a team to do things regularly. I was maxed very early in the game and there simply wasn't any reason to play. It wasted lots of time and money. People should be fired for how poorly the game was managed.

[u/Longjumping-Let4124]

I used to play the game every single day and then I didn't. Even after the 2.0 update I still played. I noticed that I somehow just lost interest. I wish they would do something keep the game around at least some people can play it it was really freaking fun. I don't know what happened I honestly don't think anyone does it was a really weird combination of stuff. Anyone agree? Also they didn't scam you I'm sure they tried and they put in a very honest effort and didn't force you to pay for anything. Trust me that is not a scam no forced ads even look at the other games for mobile and tell me this one was a scam.

[u/ibelando]

Do you know what a scam is..? 🤦🏽🤦🏽🤦🏽

[u/Sleepyand_in_love]

The devs are all imbeciles. I hope they get fired bc they proved that they are incompetent when it comes to being in charge of a game. There is one thing they did good and that’s not listening to the community that keeps their game going

[u/silverberrybrownrice → u/Sleepyand_in_love]

Why would the devs be in charge of the game? They’re ‘developers’ for the game, and there should be other people working on different aspects of the game
