Stella Sola: Controversy over Yostar's P2W Policy Changes and Disappointing Game Experience
YouTubers Profdarknss4 and Jeb share a critical view of Stella Sora's changed monetization policies and in-game problems. In particular, they express dissatisfaction with the gacha system that changed after the CBT, the disappointing implementation of skins, and the weapon-dependent character design, expressing concerns about the future of the game.
1. 🎮 Criticism of the Gacha System Changed After CBT
- ✅ The gacha system, which was decent during the CBT, has been greatly changed after the official release, increasing the burden of in-app purchases.
- ⚠️ The system that guaranteed character acquisition with 60 to 160 draws has been changed to 300 draws.
| Game | Single Draw Price |
|---|---|
| 스텔라 소라 | 300 |
| 타 게임 (예시: Woolwa) | 160 |

2. 🎲 50/50 System and Unguaranteed Gacha
- ✅ If you fail in the 50/50 system, character acquisition is not guaranteed in the next 50/50.
- ⚠️ It has been confirmed that it is possible to fail in 50/50 consecutively.
- ❌ It was mentioned in the previous beta that the weapon banner would be included in the standard pool, but it has actually been changed.

3. 🖼️ Disappointment with the Lobby Background Called 'Skin'
- ✅ The 'skin' that can be obtained from the battle pass is a simple lobby background that does not change the appearance of the character.
- ⚠️ It is specified as 'skin' in the game, but in reality, it does not change the character model at all.

4. 💰 Excessive Inducement of In-App Purchases and Character-Dependent Weapon System
- ✅ It may cost more than about $200 to definitively obtain a character (when the highest top-up bonus is not applied).
- ⚠️ A specific character's weapon has effects that only apply to that character and do not apply to other characters.
- ❌ If a character does not have a unique weapon, certain skills cannot be used.

- ⚠️ There are many tasks to solve, such as monetization policies, weapon systems, and skin problems.
- ❌ Compared to other competing works to be released in 2025 and 2026, Stella Sora's appeal is considered to be declining.
