Should have been Free to Play...

[Sparhawk122]

Some stores in my country had to give this game away for free because no one was buying it.

Not only this but it is an MMO game with expensive microtransactions via the ATOM shop AND has a Fallout 1st subscription.

So why the heck is the game priced the way it is?

Greedy.

If this game went F2P I'd definitely give it a shot and maybe even play it a bit. But at it's current price I most likely won't buy it unless it drastically changes and fixes.

We will see if the dlc is good at first , lets give them the benefit of doubt . if it goes the same way as the rest of the game , we have to admit that drama/scandal/troll wagon is worth the price XD

The DLC is reportedly pretty decent, but I haven't seen any review on it say it's anything more than a small step in the right direction. Think one of the early reviews even want so far as to say something like "Wasterlanders is fun, but vanilla 76 still exists and that's a problem." The rest of the game and the problems with that game still exist. And apparently there's a gap in the story. If you are a new players, you get the Wastelanders story going and then it just suddenly stops dead and forces you to grind to something like level 20 in the base before you can play anymore of the story. I've also heard some stuff about there being pretty heavy biases towards playing the story as a high level character that potentially end up punishing new players/characters for not having maxed out stats.

But back to the issue of whether it should be free... yeah, it should be free. Their cash shop is insanely over priced AND they have a subscription plan. There is absolutely no excuse for this game not to be F2P. They are just greedy.

Exactly my thoughts.

Not taking even into account how non enjoyable the game is when it plays unsmooth and has an intolerable amount of bugs that impact gameplay.
