yeah with how they are wanting so much and the game isnt different then the early access tests this really is off putting, and knowing that they already have a problem with people abusing the plots and them talking about a sub model already has me re thinking about even buying this game.

My prediction: Near nobody cares about the prediction of a completely unimportant person. With or without arguments.

Would you have preferred them to just bring sub to full release without mentioning it beforehand?

How big would the sh*itstorm have been?

Totally agree this is noting more then a unreal 5 asset demo at best.

[Diomedes]

Lol, this game feels like a second job. A second job you have to pay for. No thanks.

The subscription fees are there failsafe...
They know they dont really have anything of value. Its a typical Unreal Engine Tech Demo, with the same problems every Unreal Engine MMO has.
And of course the promised some mystical 8000 players per server technology and couldnt deliver at all.
Why should you even develop this game, if you would have this technology? You could make way more money selling it as an enginge, then you could ever make with this game.

Using subscription fees is actually smart in this case.
Knowing the quick buck you made releasing is probably the only money you will get, you probably dont want to keep the servers running forever. But shutting down access to a game you released and sold not so long ago, could be interpreted as fraud, if you dont compensate you customers.
But loosing all you customers due to high subscription fees and then beeing forced to shut down because of low player numbers... Totally different.

So if you take 40 Dollar, play it for 50 hours (this is VERY low for 6 months) so you paid 80 Cents an hour to have fun.
Sure you can get games for 5 Dollar and play it even longer, but if you have really fun 80 Cents is not to bad and if you really like it you will play much longer.
So I do not see a real cash grab here, you get what was advertised and all know/knew what the payment is/was for. There where enough videos and such.

[Do It For Hargon]

at the rate it's going currently? likely. if major changes are implemented rather quickly? it'll survive much longer and could even become a good game. i'm waiting to see which of those routes they take.

['Araturo]

More likely exactly a year and one day after EA release. Because that's better for them from a legal standpoint.
Doesnt make it any less of a cashgrab

what if it wasnt all that fun tho? what if the adertisement and streamers etc made it seem more fun that it really is, what if its kinda buggy and frustrating? and you just keep playing a bit now and then to see if its improved any, cos you already paid for it and all so it would be a waste not to, but at the end of the day you kinda wish you never saw that streamer playing that game and spent your precious free time doing something more fun.

atleast it was good for the company, having customers pay 80 cents pr hour to test their game for them
