exactly i feel the same
Please don’t register from next time then. It’s my earnest request. Your place should be taken by any other person who is willing to learn skills rather than just the rewards.
Me too. Very disappointed about swgas and I played arcade since season 01 2023. Not any participation in future.
Thanks fot all the time and effort that you put on your job, it supposted that we are here to learn and plus we get a free swag, i don’t know why all these ppl are complaining, besides alot of then search on google for an arcade answer with a script. just my opinion, first time here on The Arcade
Facilitator WINS very worthwhile and REALLY useful swags. Participant/Normal Arcade player’s swags are of no use except a few items. Please bring facilitator’s type of swags for us! This is really discriminating for us as compared to facilitators. We grind hard for SIX months and in return the items are of no use in real life, also the added items are of same type taken from last season.
You’ve to give special curated rewards which must be handy and daily useful products!!! "
@Yugali
please for the sake of GOD, bring @Yugali good and daily useful swags for us, Cheaper and local items are making us disappointment from the program’s reward curation!!!
Hi Yugali,
I appreciate the previous responses, but I have to be completely honest — this entire experience has been extremely disappointing. It has now been several weeks since I was informed that my swag shipment is “on hold,” and since then, there has been no proactive communication, no realistic timeline, and no update from your side.
If Google initiates a campaign, collects participant details, and promises rewards, then it becomes your responsibility to fulfill that commitment within a reasonable timeframe.
This is no longer about the swag.
It’s about:
-
Keeping trust with your developer community
-
Respecting participants’ time and engagement
-
Maintaining professionalism and basic accountability
Right now, none of these are being upheld.
I expect a clear and final update — either:
Shipment confirmation with a realistic dispatch date,
or
An official acknowledgment that the shipment will not happen.
Uncertainty for months is not acceptable, especially from Google.
Please resolve this responsibly and ensure this does not happen to others who genuinely support and engage with your programs.

Hey Google Cloud Arcade Team 
Big thanks for keeping the program alive — the new hoodie was a solid refresh and we really appreciate that. But honestly, it’s a bit disappointing to see the rewards not evolving much while the effort and point requirements keep shooting up.
This time, the Legend tier sits at a whopping 95 points, which takes serious time, consistency, and effort to reach. If we’re putting in that much work, the rewards should truly feel like Legend-level.
We’d love to see usable, proud-to-own gear — things like TWS earbuds, power banks, premium backpacks, or eco-friendly smart accessories — not the same cycle of basics. The hoodie was a good step forward, but please don’t stop there.
Let the rewards reflect the time, skill, and passion the community is giving back. Make the Legend tier actually feel legendary.

I’m so dumb, i just discovered this platform and started in just october end. i have a question, will these swags be repeated in next year 
@Yugali
Consider adding more premium and useful items like headphones, earphones, smart backpacks, smart torches, or wireless keyboards kind of in higher tiers like champion and legend instead of the Pen Duo. The Pen Duo would be more suitable for the Novice or Trooper tiers rather than the Ranger tier. It doesn’t really feel worth receiving the same item even at the Champion or Legend tier, where the rewards should feel more exclusive and valuable.
To all people complaining about the swags:
I think we are missing a point here, the main aim of arcade is to get started and gain skills in cloud platform not just collecting swags.
Yes swags are good motivators, but that shouldn’t be the whole purpose of participating in arcade. The focus should be more on learning and swags are just a byproduct. Stop complaining!
