Wooga Reviews 157

A wonderful, high quality, succesful game became the next victim of agressive capitalism.
Sudden changes in the game, which left a huge number of long-time players (most of them paid money monthly) unsatisfied.
10.000 signed a petition already against WOOGA - PLAYTIKA.
But their opinion is belittled, not heard and laughed at by the worst social media manager - Dario Wooga, trying to shut down everybody who is critical to the new changes,and calls female players "honey" openly on FB. Unprofessional and arrogant at its best. Well, if they want to represent themselves like this, very well.
But we are not paying for this anymore. Users pay for nice experience, not for humiliation.

This company is ruining a great game and it’s shameful
Bring back the coffees sack thd directors and let us play.

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Wooga you're greedy
And i do not love you.

I willingly spent $10 to $20 a week (sometimes more) for diamonds, limited decorations, or "sale" items. Diamonds allowed me to purchase more energy, gift bushes, and gift more drinks in the cafe to team members, thus building comraderie. But the latest changes, which are designed to FORCE OUR HANDS into our wallets is beyond foul. Playtika took a beloved, beautiful, addictive game and turned it into something ugly. Prices are too high for the "items" they offer. Search for the Yahoo Finance article about Playtika and it will tell you everything you need to know. Playtika's plan for the games they control is to turn non paying players into paying ones. The bottom line is money. Your gameplaying experience is irrelevant, and in direct contrast, to their goals.

Playing June's Journey was fun until recently. Wooga does player surveys and then does exactly opposite of what players like. Over the last year, which changes made by Wooga, playing JJ became more expensive and much less fun.

The game was good. Now it is all about money. They've made unpleasant changes. Their inside game customer support is a joke, with robots answering your complaint with ready written lame explanations. They do not answer to emails sent to support. Game glitches remain unsolved.

When coffe was taken away, game jumped far down. Think ME is a bigger cheat", than giving coffee - for real money= diamonds. What I ude my diamonds for I think is for med to decide.
Not using 1 penny anymore in this game.

If I could give less than one star, I would. Playtika bought out Wooga last year and is now doing everything in their power to destroy June's Journey, a game that USED to be fun and relaxing. They now require more and more resources for very little reward and keep adding aspects to the game, that make it feel more like a full time job, than the escape people are looking for. Challenges are constantly thrown at players, without allowing enough time to accomplish them or to recoup depleted resources between each one. The prize goals have become unachievable if you do not play continually for hours on end. The latest fiasco is, without warning, they removed a major source of energy from the game without decreasing the amount needed for all the competitions, challenges and League play. This was the last straw for MANY players and they are leaving in droves. The company couldn't care less.

Their Facebook pages are highly censored which gives a false impression that everything is fine, when it is NOT. Their community manager, Dario, is an unprofessional, pompous, arrogant, sexist, rude tyrant. He often insults people he does not agree with, if he doesn't ban you from their FB sites first. He should be fired immediately for an extremely sexist remark he made recently to a player.

Hopefully, Wooga can take control of June's Journey again from Playstinka some day soon. It used to be amazing but greed has set in and prices have become ludicrously exorbitant. Who can afford to pay upwards of $30+ for tiny digital art decorations? These same decorations used to be free by playing the game, but have now been removed and instead, offered for prices anywhere between $5-40. Good grief!

Please return the game to it's former glory and your customers will be overjoyed once again. Until then, there are plenty of other games to play.

All they care about is making loads of money, even if they have to ruin an entire game that used to be amazing and loved by thousands of people. Give our 5 coffees back!! Let us decide what to do with our own resources!! Don't come up with some lame excuse pretending you care about those who don't possess loads of energy to compete because we all know you took our main source of energy to force us to buy diamonds to waste on energy bars!! Learn how to lie!! It's a game of strategy, some choose to build up energy, some choose to play it all out!! Let us be free to decide!!

The opinions here speak accurately about the corruption of this corporation: Playtika. Greed and evil has overpowered the joy of June’s Journey. Whilst I was placing an opinion on June’s Journey Face Book page this morning, my comment was instantly blocked and not allowed to be posted. That in itself is frightening as I was not posting anything that violated any FB rules, just trying to voice my unhappiness with the game changes.

I cannot even begin to go into all the ways you have failed your players. You have carved up every reward we get in the game. Reward are now way less than half of what we used to get for any task. The coffee is the last straw. If you don't reverse it, I'm quitting the game.

Awesome game! They are not afraid to make changes to keep the game going. Decor. a lot move, to life like, they try to keep old player happy with new decoration while also trying to let new player get old decoration. Love this game! Meet a several people from all over the world concern them like family. Thank you Wooga for keeping June's going and the times.

Ads, glitches, poor customer service, constantly pushing in app purchases. What used to be a great game has been so monetized it is unrecognizable

A fantastic game ruined by sheer greed. The latest change - imposed with no warning - was based entirely on trying to make players pay more to play. The reasons given (eventually) were pure bulls**t (I’m not afraid of using the correct word, but trustpilot won’t let me!). Such a shame when they have great graphics, interesting variety of side games, and good developers (albeit that they don’t always test changes). They don’t care about their loyal customers who have contributed to their profits either directly or indirectly by watching thousands of ads. They have treated us with contempt, and deserve the same in return.

Last changes in June's Journey make game stressfull. Wooga after been selt to Playtika starts to drain pocets of players. PR and Social Media support became unhelpful and even rude.

(Same review I posted for PLAYTIKA on here)

WE the JJ community have lots to say about this company. Since their take over from WOOGA. WE have been lied to by them on numerous occasions, WE have been called names by their sexist and biased community manager DARIO WOOGA on FaceBook, WE have been given falsified surveys, WE have been taken advantage of by greed and uncertainty. OUR NOW EVER SO STRESSFUL CAFE HAS BEEN DEPLETED, teams are breaking up, the millions of dollars invested into this company by the members is criminal at this point. We are being robbed unhappily now. WE ARE UNDER BOYCOTT STATUS. PLEASE BE AWARE ANY NEW MEMBERS DO NOT SPEND ONE HARD EARNED PENNY IN THIS GAME.

Wooga have sadly gone down hill since selling to playtika.... they've let 1000s of players down. I understand they're a business but their greed has let their players down. Come on wooga, if you can cap 1 coffee, you can cap it to 2. If you can prevent new team members from joining in team competitions for 24hrs, then you can prevent them from serving and collecting coffee for 24hrs too.
From seeing various posts it can't possibly be 88% only serving one drink. Everyone is saying usually 2. Why do questionnaires without space for us to give opinions. Your customers matter... without them theres no game

Bad move by Wooga reducing the number of coffees we can serve for energy in June’s Journey.

***WOOGA IS NOW PLAYTIKA***
Please google the buyout and see to whom you are really paying with each purchase-an $11 BILLION online gaming Kraken, determined to squeeze their players until there is nothing left to give.***

What once was a wonderful game that played fairly, reasonably and was customer-oriented has morphed into nothing more than a kraken of unabashed and slimy, smarmy, greed. The company is a bully, quite literally. Since Playtika bought out Wooga (the JJ’s creator) it has become shamelessly time wasting, quality-reducing, mean-spirited, stunningly stingy, and unabashedly money-grubbing. Capitalism is a good thing but this is utterly ridiculous. Upon its purchase, Playtika took what had become a carefully (and caringly) cultivated target market of (comparatively) older, highly loyal, long-playing, and most importantly, willing, *and able* to spend grotesque amounts of money-which originally, heavily supported its business model. However, since the take over, it is glaringly obvious that its target audience has not only been intentionally mutated but mutilated as well. Incoming, new players have obviously always been a major contributor to a game’s profitability however this game was one that used a little more finesse and strategy. Bullying your long-playing, long-devoted and unusually loyal market is needless, lazy and vulgar. In fact, the blatant and obvious greed is the very definition of “Vulgar”. The quality of the game itself has been so heavily diluted- using thin guises such as implementing tools of direct interactions, competitions, etc to significantly increase profits while simultaneously reducing players’ game-play experience, self-governance abilities, all rewards, and advancement capabilities is just embarrassing. Have you NO shame Playtika? Recently, (and in correlation with) the new aspects of play, they have allowed glaringly obvious software-security weaknesses enabling player corruption -vastly increasing their positions and rewards within the game. Rather than admit their errors and fixing the problem, they have punished the entire community and used the same tools to greatly increase profits. So, as players we are suffering while they are laughing at us all the way to the bank. What began as a lovely, small, highly creative and customer-dedicated company, Wooga has sold out to an absolute monster in the on-line gaming industry, Playtika. Just stay away. They are not deserving of your time or a single penny from your pocket. Shame on you, Playtika!

We players are BOYCOTTING, no games, no competition, no shopping and no watching ads. We were publicly insulted yesterday in a post from the official June's Journey Game Group, by Darius Wooga, who made another post today apologizing for the insults in yesterday's post. We must be given back the freedom to buy coffee in-game, that's all we asked for! We were always able to buy up to 5 a day, now we are forced to serve a single free coffee. This is killing the game teams. Yesterday the offenses were absurd. Today in the public apology, Dário Wooga says that he lost control because of the players, that is, he blames us for his behavior.
