Hi Maddox, I can see how the membership aspect has been disappointing for you, and I truly appreciate you sharing your feelings. It’s understandable that many players have varying expectations regarding game access, and your perspective is valuable to us. Just to clarify, the game is part of the Game Vault, which is available to Mega and Ultimate Fan members. We want to ensure you have the best experience possible, and your feedback helps us understand how we can improve. Thank you for taking the time to express your concerns, and I hope you find joy in gaming in your own way! 💛
Super Fun Time 👍🏼 Thank you
I’m very grateful to Crunchyroll for even offering us so many great games like this. The anime and manga make the Crunchyroll monthly subscription totally worth it in my opinion. While having all of these really great games to play is just like the coolest bonus ever.
Many thanks to Crunchyroll for offering such fun games to play with along with our subscription and many thanks as well also to the creators of this game. Your hard work and time put into Pepper Grinder is very much appreciated by myself and I’m sure many others. Thanks for all of the above and God bless.
Also, I noticed at the time of my writing that this game only has negative reviews and ratings and they all state the same pointless thing. It’s so exasperating seeing the same thing every single time. I can’t imagine how stressful and demoralizing it is for Crunchyroll and the developers of these great games to see this every time.
But, the very first line of the description for this game and every Crunchyroll game, explicitly and clearly states that - “You need a Mega or Ultimate Fan Crunchyroll Subscription Plan to Play This Game.” This is stated in the promotional material as well and once again in the description lower down. How can so many of you fail to read and comprehend the very first statement in the game’s description? It’s ludicrous in my opinion. And don’t you think it’s extremely unethical and petty to tank a game’s score because you don’t want to follow the requirements set forth by the people offering the game? Netflix also has a game section for subscription members. This is nothing new. Giving a score of 1-star and complaining about not being able to play the game that told you’re right off the bat the requirements for being able to play it is, just asinine I believe.
It’s like going to shoe store and screaming your head off at a store clerk because they refuse to give you the shoes you want for free. Again, just silly and very petty as I said to hurt the reputation of a game because your reading comprehension appears to be way below average. I’m grateful for these games, Crunchyroll, thank you very much. I can see these games as an incentive to subscribe to Crunchyroll. Yet, I also find this benefit to just be very generous. Again, thank you, Crunchyroll and all of the game developers and game staff that participate in this program 👌🏻❤️.
