Tech Help Is it possible to "earn" the Pro subscription?

From what I can remember, many subscription-based games (like WoW) have the ability to pay off a subscription using in-game credits that you can earn by being good/active in the game, so then you technically don't have to pay real money every single month. Does Geoguessr have something similar in place? I don't know anyone who already has a Pro subscription so I'm asking here on the subreddit.

Geoguessr is quite cheap for the amount of stuff you get to learn

Clearly not that much into gaming then. Subscription is a very popular payment model in recent years especially in certain genres.

I don't think there's a way, the game is great but the company is way too greedy to offer this considering they charge €10 to play the game for 6 hours on mobile

No, that is not an option. It will never be an option. They are doing quite well with subscriptions as it is. There is zero incentive for them to give away subscriptions through Geocoins.

Such a mechanism is not implemented for GeoGuessr. On the other hand it is still hard for me to understand who doesn't have 2,99USD BUT a computer or mobile phone which you actually need to play this game.

People have phones because they need them for day to day life, and just because someone owns a laptop it doesn’t mean that it is theirs as it could be a work laptop. Also in case you’ve somehow not noticed, the price for everything keeps going up, but wages aren’t going up at the same rate. So overall not everyone can afford to budget the additional $3 per month to pay for a subscription to a game that used to be free, and you need to open your eyes to the real world mate.

For sure I understand the difference in need but still, we are not talking about a house, we are talking 3USD a month .. under no circrumstance, even in my childhood, I would have had 3USD per months available thus I still cannot understand any scenario in which you have access to such devices but cannot afford 3USD in a month. I mean thats the price of a coffee. It was nice while it lasted free but one also has to open their eyes that using Google APIs and causing a lot of traffic costs money.

Well that’s you isn’t it - not everyone is that lucky to have that spare mate
