Disney Dreamlight Valley Community Divided Over Abandoning Free-to-Play Plan

The Disney Dreamlight Valley community is divided over the developer Gameloft's decision to not make the game free-to-play as originally planned. While some players are upset, others are celebrating the change with reservations, and others are seeking more clarity on future pay structures and update plans. Concerns range from fears of excessive microtransactions to confusion about the upcoming paid expansion pack and the distinction between free and paid content. The community worries that the game may end up charging players for both access and major gameplay elements, similar to The Sims. Gameloft has yet to address these concerns.
