A growing discontent among players signals serious issues in this season's MLB rewards structure. Many are left feeling slighted as only a select few reap meaningful benefits from competitions, while financial instability looms over parent company Sorare.
Players are voicing frustration about the lack of equitable rewards. Only the top 10-15 competitors secure valuable items while the rest are stuck with minimal perks like essence or coupons.
Participants express that the competition feels rigged against them. One player declared, "Youβd have to be in the top 40 for 10 weeks to earn enough essence for a single T5 card." This sentiment echoes across forums, reflecting a growing consensus that the reward structure is flawed.
Sources confirm rising doubts about Sorare's financial health, with their valuation sinking from $4.5 billion in 2021 to $4.3 billion. Comments reveal skepticism regarding the relationship between these financial struggles and the quality of rewards. A recurring question appears: "Does that justify this poor reward offering?"
Moreover, a controversial decision to cut cash rewards has aggravated players who feel misled about the gameβs initial promises. One commenter noted the shift:
"Removing the boxes and cards makes no sense if they intend to keep the players who have been spending money."
Amid frustration, some have accused the company of prioritizing influencer partnerships over player satisfaction, saying, "Theyβre paying influencers obscene money while neglecting loyal players." Others urge for feedback channels existing within the community to be used to push for necessary changes.
"They owe those who stuck it out with them to help improve everything through engagement."
As players express a mix of anger, confusion, and disappointment, many wonder if Sorare will heed their concerns. Skepticism remains high about whether real change will come as frustrations fester within the community.
