USED TO be a great game. – Bid Wars: Storage Auction Game Review

I’ve been playing this game for quite some time. That being said, I was around before the insane amount of paywalls. Features that used to be free now require you to either pay to use, or watch ads. The main reason this is a problem is because, like I said, I’ve been playing it for a looong time. In-game gameplay is also slow to develop, unless you play the game religiously. But now it’s to the point where the game is trying to force you to use power ups. And if you are one of the people who play religiously, you’d have to either spend a lot of money to get power ups, or watch a LOT of ads. As a matter of fact, you can’t even skip offers in your own pawn shop, unless you use gold. And gold is only attainable by..... Paying, or watching ads. And the payout from ads in extremely minimal. For example... In my pawn shop, if I was trying to sell an item, but the offer was lower than the value, you can only skip if you use gold. Currently, it requires me to pay around 100+ gold to skip. Watching an ad will only net you 1 or 2 gold bars. Basically forcing you to have to pay for gold, or accept a lower offer than the value. Dumpster diving also used to be a daily thing you could do for free. About a year and a half ago, I’d have rated this game 5 stars. But now it’s basically pay to win.
