I think it was obvious that it was never going to be a free game again. The problem is making it look like it’s free to play and then hitting the player with a paywall after a few games. Also, the subscription model is shitty. I would readily put down a onetime payment for something that works as least as good as the web version, which is a lot more polished than the free alternatives I’ve seen. But I refuse to buy into this subscription model.
You can thank Google for that - they are charging for every API call. A one time payment would either have to be ridiculously high, or it could ruin GeoGuessr.

I will thank both for no business with either of them.
