fighting games have so much potential as free to play

[nogsuap]

lastely i was playing brawlhalla
and thinking a little
why this thing is not a pattern in the fgc industry(question)
stop to think
in the less priviliged contries like brazil or argentina the price are there on hights
so what do you think
that the people with less money will play tekken 8 or brawlhalla
obvious that they will play brawlhalla
so what the upcoming fighting game that are from riot and are free to play(project L)
but the game maybe never release
because the devs from project L probally are making a version for consoles and for mobilie(i know that convert a fighting game for other operational system demand years and maybe decades depending of the studio)
so why they dont release the pc version of project L early or even a beta
man tom and tony cannon said that the game wasnt shipping in 2021 and 2022 and he was right EVO PROVED THAT FOR US
but bro i dont whant to stay seeing the next 10 years a demo just because the devs whant to release project L to pc and the consoles of ps5 and ps6 and maybe ps7 generation)
instead of that probally tekken 8 will have the same predatory pratices that mk1 and sf6 had instead of be free to play

Free to play is riddened with battlepa$$ trash and locked stuff that ruins it.

We get all that ♥♥♥♥ in full priced games too though

don't give them ideas or else it may become Pay2Win. Look how Tekken 7 has become. Its almost like a F2P game now.

"Guys, T8 shouldn't be F2P because it will have all the bad things of F2P, here is an example of them literally doing that by putting a bad F2P element in their previous B2P game. The fact that they gave us a F2P con without the F2P pro means F2P is bad. "

Online play during the beta was already a nightmare as a result of poor performance due to people's weak PC hardware; a free to play model would only make this issue worse by openning the gates to individuals running half a decade old, low-end graphics cards.

F2p becomes profitable over a long period of time (and only if you know how to maintain a large community, a lot of studios break their backs before they get there), but it's not tenable for a game like Tekken 8, which requires a lot of resources. The game needs a direct return on investment in order to amortise the production costs

they tried with Tekken revolution but stopped it very quickly even though the game didn't require much to produce as they only used assets from Tekken tag 2(and same graphics engine), so imagine a game like Tekken 8 x)

if fighting games would be free then its gonna look something like tekken revolution wich was awfull

[DontEatSmurfs]

we can see it with the future RIOT fighting game, its going to be F2P, imo everyone here is biased against F2P plan compairing it with gacha games

my point is this is not gacha, F2P could help increasing the population of the game and the popularity and help fighting games in general bringing more zoomers to the playerbase

even if there is a battepass, if the game is F2P i dont see issues with it, it would be the same as buying skins anyway, so i would be in favour of it

If Tekken was F2P the latest DLC character would have an evasive 6 frame armor crush launcher that's active on the first frame

We live in times when predatory monetization is a norm and it won't die out thanks to people like OP who actively ask for it unfortunately.

Cause Namco isn't insane enough in decision making board meetings to port large scale 3D workshops with intricate moving parts, compared to simple flash-like games on a flat 2D background. DOA6 tried this and failed badly.
The only largely successful models are KI, Brawlhalla, and more so you are asking for the compete death of the game being remastered due to extreme license inclusion and collaborations to sustain its profitability.

F2P will just inject advertisements like SFV had and give rise to commercialism and other forms of microtransactions that you cant even take with when the server dies.

You are just better off paying the average price in full or waiting for a sale, F2P tekken / Namco is just a bad idea.

Nothing is free. “Free to play” just means someone else pays for you.
