The Most Awaited Swag Drop in 2025!

hi,
After learning skills on Google Cloud, we want to shine like the SUN in the sky. We also want the Google name shine like the Sun in the sky. Sun has bright color. So similarly it would be great if the hoodie comes in bright color like the Sun like Orange, Yellowish Orange or Yellow, White. Seeing the Google name boldly displayed against a vibrant background can spark a subconscious sense of accomplishment and make our chest become bigger with pride. Better if the hoodie comes with 2 sided color, like when we wear going outside it can have the White color and after some work while returning home, if we can flip it and on the flip-side if it will have another color, it would be really cool. What about Sweaters and Woolen Beanies or a nice Belt or Pants or just a Towel maybe. The cleaner kit used to prove useless, as in India we use old t-shirts which works as the best cleaner/pocha. From what I have seen at my two friends home, the previous season Arcade, the Champion tier swags were more useful than the Legend tier. Legend tier had cleaning kits, no use. Had a small mini printer like the Bus conductor gives ticket kind of mini printer, so cant use that either as the Bus conductors get their printing machines from government which only they have to use. It would have been useful, if we could keep the white paper on the table and give the printing instructions and the place the printer over the paper and if that printer could move and print itself. In that case no matter the paper size, the printer could have printed any color output. That sort of printer could have been useful as we could have printed on any paper size and color. We are kind of people crazy with trying variations with tech, so we might have tried printing on our shirts or t-shirts with that printer. Cleaning kit bottles had water only, that dont even dry out. My friends laptop got damaged after using that cleaning liquid from cleaning kit. laptop mouse or a headphone or a digital watch could have been more useful that those cleaning kits

Yeah. Thats why we miss older seasons too much back in 2021 & 2023 where the ARCADE TEAM gave us Havells Electric KETTLE.

Now the TEAM launches those swags which are of no use, the items look like a toys for a kid, they don’t bring productive, daily-useful swags.

back in 2021 and 2023, few serious learners/developers used to complete Arcade. Learning and testing knowledge was priority.

Now everyone can become “Legend” in two months with help of facilitators YouTube channels (obviously with short cut scripts). 84 Pre-assessment labs diluted entire program. Now a days you can see complete all 84 skill badges in one hour YouTube advisements by facilitators. Whoever not part of Arcade facilitator has to spend six months to complete same Arcade Legend program.

Yugali’s “no scripts” claim at the start of Arcade Season 2 appears to be at odds with how the program is currently unfolding, sparking confusion and criticism among participants.

My observation over last few seasons is “Quality of arcade program challenge” reduced drastically. Now a days some labs are repeated so many times in Arcade season.

Please HEAR our anticipations, prioritize our feedback/suggestions. Bring an exclusive brand new additions in different Prize Tiers. We really appreciate the past seasons where rewards are truly worthy. But in Current season, Points Criteria is high, Rewards should be higher( in terms of it’s exclusivensss & daily use)

We DONOT recommend BAGPACKS or SHIRTS across all Prize Tiers which come in every past seasons, we do recommend newest & useful additions which really worth & represent our effort and make our enthusiasm in Global Arcade Program.

Pullover like long-sleeved SWEATSHIRT would be a great new addition instead of repeating any-colored hoodie in other Lower Prize Tiers. @Yugali please take it into consideration. Sweatshirt is very warm made up of fleece and cozy in winter season. Printo & Whitesquarein.com both vendors produces and merchandise sweatshirts. Pick a Good quality for us! :sparkles:

Bluetooth Speaker, Watches, PowerBanks & USBs are a part of Desk why you don’t introduce for Arcade Players???

Please @Yugali instead you can curate prizes which would be really useful in daily life…. You can give us metal double double wall insulated bottles/Jug/Electric Kettle, Magnetic Stirrer Mug, Bulb :light_bulb: Lumins , lamps etc. Also some Bluetooth speaker to enjoy the music while we’re staying focus in Arcade Labs!!! @Yugali hope you’re hearing us and bring for us those swags for which we desire!!!

Can you put in the word for a dedicated page for Google Arcade? where we can track points and all?

@Yugali
please provide option to merge skills and arcade prize tier achievements(In present system we have to create new mail ID for each season to achieve top prize tier) to one ID.

O Wowwwww Fabolous

“Congratulations”

Swags are just a short burst of happiness, they don’t really matter in the long run. And honestly, in this AI era, doing labs manually feels kind of pointless and too time-consuming.
I get that the Arcade program is meant to encourage people to use Google Cloud, but still, the process feels outdated.
We really need to rethink this approach because AI is moving so fast, it’s going to surpass us soon. (Saying this after completing Cohort 1. and not participating in cohort-2) :sob: :frowning:

Google should integrate Gemini CLI, Code Assistant, and the Agent Development Kit into the next iteration of Arcade Labs.

Atleast finally we would be getting the hoodie

NOT B means Not Bag Pack please @Yugali …..

:sob: waste of time

@Yugali Please consider adding more swag to this cohort as the points per tier increase. Also, the number of swags is decreasing every Arcade.

:slightly_smiling_face: Add laptop exclusively for legend++ tear
