"BeStar" presents an initially engaging and fun music simulation experience. The core gameplay is enjoyable, and the initial value proposition, such as the VIP subscription costing around $10 USD , seems fair. However, the game's current economic structure and competitive environment raise significant concerns regarding fair play. There appears to be a systemic issue where top-tier players are accumulating vast amounts of currency and "spins" at an improbable rate. For context, the estimated cost for 20,000 spins is approximately $80, and some players seem to be acquiring this amount, or more, every six hours. This highly unbalanced economy creates a significant barrier for even VIP players, who typically only accumulate a maximum of 2,000–3,000 spins. The competitive aspect, particularly the "Spin area" bidding, is currently unwinnable for the majority, as top players consistently outbid others by exorbitant amounts (e.g., dropping 20,000 over a typical bid). Furthermore, the disparity in in-game wealth, with top players possessing over 100 million in currency compared to the average player's meager earnings, strongly suggests that these individuals may be receiving unauthorized in-game benefits or free items. While the game is fundamentally fun, the community's highly competitive, and at times, toxic nature, exacerbates the feeling of being cheated. For players who simply want a casual experience, this game is suitable. However, for anyone aspiring to compete, rank highly, or achieve top-tier status, the current state of the economy makes this impossible without a fair chance. If you are seeking a music simulation game with a more equitable, AI-driven structure, I would recommend exploring alternatives like "Music Wars Rockstar" or "Groove Journey." The current imbalance in "BeStar" made the time invested feel largely unrewarding. I hope the developers address these issues to create a truly balanced competitive environment.

This is such a fun music sim. It's online and it's so interesting being able to compete with my friends. The updates are consistent and the developer listens to the audience.
