Pay to play, I don't understand.

[OwnageStar]

This game was released as a free-to-play video game in 2017 for Windows and Xbox One, then its servers were shut down a year later.

Why should i pay a $20 tag on a game when it might shut down again? Now i know people are gonna say, oh its only 20. But why should that even matter when the game Originally was free and still failed. Its it going to succeed just cause its 20? Do i want to play this? I do, Will i pay $20 Naw. I will wait, in a few months it will go Free.

Its under a new company. Motiga has nothing to do with the new re-release, thats why it is no longer F2P. Plus, in order for a F2P game to stand afloat, it needs to make money through micro transactions, which is something this new team decided to stay away from.

Why is it so hard for people to understand that this a re-release of a previously live-service mp f2p game, and they decided to make the content all part of a purchase, with free updates mirroring indie game free content updates instead of a f2p model. Probably motivated by the fact that it already had a history, and they didn't seek to nickel and dime the playerbase again after such a prolific and sad EOS, which I find sensible and respectful. Did you consider the history? Probably not.
Also
It's a frecking game. Not every game is a f2p BR fortnite, and doesn't need to be. The new devs decided it would be better for the passion project to start off offering everything, and add some more as time goes on for free too. It's meant for the people who loved, and maybe then some. A straightforward and honest revival for the fans. A small price tag with the promise of more content is honestly refreshing juxtaposed with your F2P begging.
Also, you ever buy and play Halo Reach? or Overwatch? It's kinda LIKE THAT.

All my years on steam and owning this game for free as well I agree this game is bound to die with a 20 dollar price tag, complain all you want i've bought games for less with more content and yet they dare charge for nothing more than the dead corpse of a game and say it's back! pretty pitiful not gonna lie. To those people that say steam is online always and it will die one day ya maybe but at least that will last more than this flavour of the week.

Also zero bot support because they are always online connected to a server.

But why
You don't think the passionate people this was made for aren't going to be enough to keep it going? you think every release is a ratrace?
the community that's been hosting these matches for years is enough alone to keep the lobbies full, and no amount of just saying this kind of thing is going to change that. Really makes me wonder what motivates your post? Is it the expectation it competes against other games? bc it really doesn't matter.

Gamers: We don't want F2P with microtransactions! We want to buy our game and have everything be unlockable!

Gamers when the game costs money: WTF!!!!!

I see, makes sense. So this new model of the game has no Micro-Transactions? So if i am understanding this correctly and if I am wrong please make sure i understand. The $20 Tag on the game comes with all content updates and unlockable characters from playing the gaming.

Imagine you released a series of 20 movies where you asked to pay for each one for each watching of it.

And then 6 years later released a box set of all 20 movies where you pay once and can watch them as often as you
want.

It's basically that, everything as a single box set where you can unlock everything from playing, in maintenance mode so no constant updating expected.

It's like a "here is the game, it's done, won't get more changes"
