Why pay2play?

[gn0rp]

Its a moba, you're trying to compete with Smite, LoL and Dota 2 which are all free2play.
You lock the fps at 60, throw a 16$ price tag on it and expect good results?

I assume its just a quick cash grab, i doubt it even changed much from the previous game.

its 20$ get over it

I'm also afraid of paying and then the game dies again.

You goons pay $25 per skin in other games and then lose your mind when a game is $16 on sale and you get everything in the game for that price.

Because those games let you atleast experience the game before you spend money, this game, which has already died once, thinks that its worth you buying before you get a chance to play it

That isn't going to end well :P

I am honestly surprised that they would charge to play this game after it had already been shut down. I will be waiting for a trial or free2play.

Who is 'you goons'? You acting like i'm a part of that ♥♥♥♥. The only game i own skins on is Cs2, which is money i could back out at any time. This game is 8 years old, it re-released with barely anything new and with many of the same issues BUT it was free2play back then.

I think peoples complaints are justified, you're just cockriding the game for no reason.

Thats exactly my thoughts.

[AvoidTheVoid]

this is the reason why P2P is detriment in a competitive pvp game imo, people gonna be scared to invest money like myself. I am on edge on buying it but if it was free it would be no brainer.

Its more like a hero shooter, with some MOBA elements

Yes it absolutely is! Look at the games that do do well. They are free2play, but with an ingame shop that offers OPTIONAL cosmetics.

That's 3 upsides btw.
1: Free to play is easy for the consumer to try out the game
2: The cash flow continues for longer, because people will continue buying skins overtime
3. Its optional to spend money - just like its optional to buy the game, which many people wont because its pay2play whereas if its free2play they ATLEAST would be playing the game, keeping the community alive.

Sure, same difference though.

OW2 is free2play
Valorant is free2play
Paladins is free2play

What makes people think that trying to compete with those games and putting a high entry price on it will work out?

[Schrodinger's Left Nut]

They're.... not competing with anything though. This was re-released as a passion project by fans of the game, for fans of the game. Anyone beyond that who buys it is just a bonus. When Gigantic was f2p, it didn't compete with those games either.

There is no future roadmap. There are no updates planned. There is no new content planned. Afaik there aren't even patches planned. Everything that is ever coming to this game is here, take it or leave it.
