complaint about pro
You guys are like EA but worse. I want to play the game but i can only play once every 24 hours. If i want to play more than once, i have to pay 2 dollars a month, I get thats not a lot but i just want to play the game. make pro have buffs, or even make it pay to win but for gods sake dont make it a pay-to-play game.

You don't need to pay when using Google Earth because you pay with your personal data. Websites don't have personal data so instead they pay for using the data loaded from Google's servers.
If you have a brain then maybe use it to search a bit before spreading garbage around.
And no, telling them to make pay2win stuff is not a suggestion, it's a bad thing. If GeoGuessr goes down to start doing pay2win games then you know the game is dead. Screw pay2win games.
Waiting time doesn't give them the money needed to pay Google. Candy Crush only does that to push people to pay instead of waiting but unlike GeoGuessr it doesn't have to pay every time someone plays the game so it works. For GeoGuessr it won't.
The only way I could figure out to avoid subscription is some kind of game package where you buy X games for Y dollars (like 50 games for $1, complete random numbers) but it may be a nightmare to manage because of eventual problems caused by Google Maps (like removed locations leading to black screens, effectively ruining a game) so I can understand they are not motivated to implement this idea.
Note: The main goal of getting money is to pay Google and those costs are generated by the players. If they have less players then they need less money to pay Google's fees. This mean the eternal excuse of "you'll lose players" doesn't affect them because losing players means "losing" Google Maps costs, which is not a bad aspect at all. Popularity is not really a good thing for GeoGuessr if they don't have a reliable source of revenue.
Only mobile platform didn't get impact by this price rise so if you have an Apple mobile device you can download the official app and play for free. That's the only way to play for free but sadly mobile is not the best experience.
