Players of Disney Dreamlight Valley have noticed something strange happening in Scrooge McDuck’s shop—certain items are disappearing without explanation. This unexpected change has left many frustrated, sparking concerns that Gameloft may be prioritizing monetization over player experience.
Furniture Items Vanishing Without Warning
Scrooge’s shop has always been a go-to spot for players looking to decorate their valleys. It offers a rotating selection of furniture, allowing players to purchase multiple copies of their favorite items. Traditionally, even items acquired from the Premium Shop, quests, and Star Paths could later be found in Scrooge’s shop for repurchase. However, some players have reported that specific items, including the Monsters, Inc. Mug Rack, Monsters, Inc. Computer, and Small Quirky Teapot, have mysteriously vanished from the catalog.
Many players who previously bought these items insist they were once available, making their sudden removal even more frustrating. Some now suspect that Gameloft may be planning to reintroduce these items in the Premium Shop, where they would require in-game currency to purchase. If true, this would align with ongoing concerns that the game is shifting further toward monetization, a trend that has already upset parts of the player base.
Growing Concerns Over Monetization
This isn’t the first time Gameloft has removed quest-related items from Scrooge’s shop in Disney Dreamlight Valley, only to later restrict their availability. One player took to Reddit to express their frustration, pointing out that they’ve been upset “for over a year about the removal of the starter fireplace.” They described it as a simple piece but one they loved—and now, they can no longer get it.
Adding to the frustration, the game’s multiplayer mode has also been met with criticism. Players have reported that it feels underdeveloped, with limited functionality, significant bugs, and restrictions that prevent meaningful cooperative play. Many say they only use it to show off their valley designs, rather than actually playing with friends.
What’s Next for Disney Dreamlight Valley
Despite these concerns, Disney Dreamlight Valley players are still eagerly awaiting new updates, especially the arrival of Aladdin and Jasmine, expected sometime in early 2025. However, with Gameloft staying quiet on the timeline, fans are left to wonder what’s coming next—and whether their missing items will ever return.
