Why this game isn't free to play?

[Criza]

Well, as a player who plays in South America, players are essential, in the beta of the game itself (when there were more than 40k simultaneous players) it took about 20 minutes to find a game (my rank was gold 2) and when it found a game at least 30 players were bots, no...,70% of the players were silvias or marthas (common names for bots) I don't see much sense that a game what need so many players shouldn't try to call they via free to play (148K and bla bla,).

Honestly, I would be happy to buy a good game like this, but if my server takes 20 minutes in FREE BETA to find a game, I am not very interested in paying 20 dollars for 30 minutes in queue to play with bots.

and change my server to na?
bro, play naraka at 200ms xD

Does everyone in your family work for free?

$20 isn't a reasonable price for a battle royale that could be here today, gone tomorrow, and will almost certainly have micro transactions at some point soon, if it doesn't have them already.

Games like this only work if they have a large, consistent player base, so its kind of a Catch 22: if you charge money it won't be worth the money because you'll lose players to f2p games, but if you don't charge money players would actually get an experience worth $20 because the players will be there, at least at the start.

If the game had a single player campaign and would still have partial functionality even if the official servers went offline, the way games used to be, it would be worth an upfront price.

I get people taking the risk because the game looks really fun, its just not reasonable to expect most people to do that when there are f2p games that look decent and pay games that work just as well as a single-player experience.

Fortunately the game is not free and we do not have to play with these people.
