It's all about sustaining the game! Using Google Maps API isn’t free, so GeoGuessr had to start charging to cover those costs.

GeoGuessr added a charge to keep the servers running and to pay for the Google Maps services it uses. Gotta keep the lights on somehow!

They had to pay for the Google Maps API, and that stuff ain't free!

I’ve been a GeoGuessr player since 2015, and when they introduced the paid model, it was primarily to keep up with Google Maps API costs and improve the game. Worth every penny for the fun!

Honestly, they needed money to maintain and improve the game. Developing awesome features doesn’t come cheap!
