Sky: Children of the Light is meant to be a peaceful game, but as of recent, it does not seem as such. Countless events and seasons, one after another with no break, sometimes even overlapping, overwhelm players and give many of them burnout. Some players have reported that "Sky is more fun when there isn't a season or days event". Many, if not most, of these events give the player the ability to unlock cosmetics. Some of these you have to unlock with real money, and some you can buy for in-game currency. Which leads us to our second point: the pitiful state of the in-game economy. 

Many players of Sky: COTL have school, college, university, or work to attend. Most of these players cannot keep up with the events mentioned earlier, as buying all or most cosmetics available for in-game currency would probably require doing regular candle runs, which could take up from around one and a half to three hours, depending on the areas chosen. This would force them to buy candle packs for real money out of their pockets if they want to have most cosmetics in-game.

For how much real-life money IAPs cost, one would expect there to be less bugs in the game. Some of these bugs have been around for more than a year and have confused countless players, and yet, are still not fixed, for example, the infamous Isle winged light that shows up on the map no matter what. Many bugs in the game are simply annoying, and some are game-breaking, even. This creates a feeling that the developers of Sky: COTL mostly work on creating new events and seasons, instead of polishing already existing features and improving overall gameplay experience.

This petition calls out to TGC from the players:

✦ We ask you to give us regular breaks from in-game events and seasons and give us time to explore Sky at our own pace;

✦ We ask you to lower the prices of cosmetics and items, be that IAPs or purchases for in-game currency;

✦ We ask you to fix the bugs in the game, at least the old and well-known ones, and put more effort into weeding out the new ones.

We believe that if these three points were to be addressed and if effort was put into meeting them, it would improve the overall experience of players in Sky: COTL and it would build up a stronger image of Thatgamecompany in the eyes of said players.

Thank you for reading,

XOXO, a teeny tiny skykid.
