Have you ever played Mario Kart and thought “It’s good, but I wish I could drive with the characters from ‘Frozen’ instead of Nintendo’s”? Well, of course, Disney has thought of you. Well, more or less. ‘Disney Speedstorm’ has been available for some time now for those who want to try out more or less quality spin-offs. The game is free for PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. And of course. There’s the problem. In the free part.
To go through the checkout
From the beginning, ‘Disney Speedstorm’ had it very clear: season passes (called “gold pass”), which have racers, advantages, and skins, can be purchased with the game’s official currency, thus avoiding people spending more money than necessary. But of course, at some point, someone must have realized that if they removed the option, the public would have no choice but to empty their wallet.
Said and done: with the pass that will be released on the 17th of this month, based on ‘Wreck-It Ralph’ (the seventh in total), the kart game from Disney will inaugurate a “Premium Gold Pass” for 9.99 euros or 19.99 euros if you want to level up as well. Additionally, if you want to have it all, there will be two Gold Passes in each season, so you’ll have to loosen your wallet. And for some reason, the audience who used to get it for free is not happy about this daylight robbery.
‘Disney Speedstorm’ has been on the market for a year, and players have gotten used to how it works. So much so, that they are willing to sue Disney: after all, the official terms and conditions still state that the game’s own currency (Tokens) can be used to purchase the Gold Pass. If this is true, Gameloft may have no choice but to return to the previous system.
Meanwhile, I guess, we will always have ‘Mario Kart’, right?
