Premium Currency Details and Pay to Win

[LFP Gaming]

So, the game is free-to-play with Pay to Win consumables and boosts, and you will be able to buy various things in-game with real money and the premium currency is called 'Teef'. Below are the prices:

500 Teef = $5
1100 Teef = $10
2600 Teef = $20
5300 Teef = $40
11000 Teef = $80
Grot Pack DLC = $3
Supporters Pack DLC = $20

The game has a battle pass, cosmetics and various P2W boosts/consumables that will increase the rate at which you gain stuff. The game uses Easy-Anti-Malware and also has Epic Games functionality baked into the game (I can't confirm yet if you'll be required to make an EGGS account or not). That is all for right now, and as always: vote with your wallet.

Hey detective, just a note that this one isn't true. Nothing in the game that is paid for gives you a gameplay advantage. XP boosts just let you unlock cosmetics faster
(cosmetics that are not time limited, either)

Wanted to clear that up ;)

Oh another developer engaging in pay to get X (whatever it is, its toxic and shows your attitude to players).

Ignore list.

Yeah, its a F2P game, the only thing you have to pay for are fancy bits that look good. All the vehicles, maps and everything that's needed to play the game, is free. so yeah, Its pay to get the silly flag. Also: the devs are active on the discord, their attitude to the players is friendly and pretty chill, as well as receptive.

Speed Freeks is Free to Play with a plethora of content/cosmetics to unlock for free whether through the free battle pass, or through challenges.

It's battle pass model is not time based, meaning you can take as long as you want to complete it. You can purchase a paid pass to get more cosmetics if you want, but it's completely optional, and again, with no time limit.

There is a store in the game because, obviously there is - it's free to play.

Pretty straight forward. There's not much grind, no pay to win, and a whole game for people to play for free, with a bunch of free cosmetics.

My biggest complaint is related to the fact that in the beta we had to make an account on a shaddy website to play the f2p beta.
Do we need to make an account on a shaddy website and then let that website link on our steam accout and then steal all our steam data legally?
Also, do we need an epic account to play the game on steam because of how crossplay works?

I'll start by saying that there's nothing shady about the website. PROS is a system that is already used in Dead Island 2, and will be used in games like Space Marine 2.

As for gathering data, it's entirely optional. This post explains the Speed Freeks PROS account in detail, if you could have a look:

The issues is that the website will copy data from the browser cache and cookies, when you link it to steam it will save data from the steam account that is not related to the game itself.
While i understand why its done and that its great for developers its not great for players.
I mean come on, it even mentions that the pros website "shares" data with its partners.
After the data stealing scandal with Once Human, this might impact the player base here as well.
I really want to play the game but the red flags are as big as Mars in this case😬👍
Will the game always require this? At full release can we play just using steam?

3rd party sign-up = hard pass

thanks for the hype though XD lol

Pay 2 Win + DEI = DOA

[SkullsOnSkulls | TTV]

I love that every brain dead, misspelled comment in here has already had a dev swoop in and correct it. Can't wait for the launch.

Sorry meant to reply

Looks like the Privacy Policy mentions that PROS only grabs your Steam ID. Pretty sure it would be unlawful to grab much else and share it. I can ask to get explicit info though.

Wasn't the Once Human issue was they were asking for government ID?

As for the red flags, I think they're pretty small, like ones you find on toothpicks ;)

A Speed Freeks PROS account will indeed be mandatory at launch, but we'll be monitoring the community closely regarding it. The account is pretty painless, honestly. After you take the couple minutes to create one (with optional telemetry gathering), it never asks you anything again. And if you sign up for the newsletter there's an awesome squig accessory reward

Will never support a game I cannot buy. f2p has done nothing good for any player; always predatory and shady. Having discovered its f2p has kinda really let me down. I was excited for this.

This was only in certain asian places, people complained about once human but the ToS generally didn't effect them lol. People complain to complain and bandwagon youtube videos, nothing new.

Notice once human still has a good player count lol.
