Issues with Game Quality and Accessibility

Many gamers express discontent over the low quality of arcade games. A player noted,

"I've had this trash since nine months in France. Only a few new games each month."

This sentiment is echoed across multiple forums, with participants lamenting the lack of engaging or challenging options. One commenter stated,

"Itโ€™s only interesting for monthly challenges. If you pay, you get good games, but you lose time and money, and if you donโ€™t pay, you get low reward games."

Accessibility issues are also a concern, especially for international players. Comments mention frustration with unavailable games in regions like Europe, limiting options for titles such as Atlas Apps.

Frustrations Around Reward Systems

The reward system remains a major source of frustration. Players are reporting problems with receiving credits even after completing game milestones. A participant shared,

"Mine have stopped paying out not really sure whatโ€™s going on."

This ongoing struggle adds to the growing chorus of dissatisfaction, as one user lamented, "I don't even care about the AB rewards; the real problem is they donโ€™t pay them at all."

Emotional Resonance Among Players

Comments reflect a predominantly negative sentiment. Many users are canceling subscriptions, with one stating,

"Thatโ€™s why I canceled my premium subscription this month."

This underscores a widening gap between player expectations and the services provided, as an increasing number of people voice similar frustrations over the service's reliability.
