Wasn't this suppose to be Free-to-Play?

I upvoted this game on Steam Greenlight because it was Free-to-Play. Why is it not? Is this another example of false marketing/listing on Steam Greenlight?

Why did you even vote for this? Just wait until Survarium comes to open beta next year.

@JooHyun

Yes, we did a Greenlight saying the game will be f2p.
We did a great amount of thinking - and decided that crappy f2p with unbalanced microtransactions and pay2win (the current state of the game in social networks) is not something Steam users would appreciate. So we made the game a paid one - but rebalanced it and removed the inapp purchases.

I'm sorry that my lack of Steam publishing inexperience (this is our first Steam game) resulted in this misundertanding.

F2p games to dont need to be f2p to be ♥♥♥♥♥♥. There are plents of good F2P games out there that dont even require the use of microtransactions. Planetside being one of them.

Thats a very good decision, i hate F2P games because of microtransactions... Good luck.

Yes, that's right. But for that we need more experience! That's not an easy thing to develop.

А вот наглое воровство ресурсов из других игр точно обрадует каждого.

Да хотя бы то, что ты украл музыку из Killing Floor для своего трейлера.
Про пушку Гаусса прямиком из S.T.A.L.K.E.R. я промолчу.
А еще ты положительные обзоры нагло набиваешь.

Это какой трейлер? Если ты про видео с школьником и пугающим его зомби, я писал - что видео старое и мы его аутсорсили. Как только написали про проблему - я удалил видео и извинился. Или ты про что-то еще?

Пушка гаусса смоделена нами самостоятельно, но похожа - да.

Положительные обзоры я не набиваю - есть люди в социалках, которым игра нравится - вот они и запостили обзорчиков.

Не надо делать из меня беларуского доктора зло, чувак )

Привет еще раз!

Это наши активные игроки из вк.
До этого они не сталкивались со стимом,
поэтому тут пустые профили.
Они помогали тестить игру.

Вот пожалуйста их игровые профили и страницы в вк:
OKESAR (Олег Кесар, Ленин)

42 уровень, 166.000 фрагов в игре, дата регистрации в вк версии 8го января 2014 года.

39 уровень, 114.000 фрагов в игре, дата регистрации в вк версии 14 апреля 2013 года.

Дьявольская_Утка (Илья Козлов, Дьявольская Утка)

12 уровень, 2100 фрагов, дата регистрации 17 июня 2014 года.
Этот парень вообще из Сирии и перешел играть в вк из фейсбука. Могу найти его профиль из второй соцсети если надо.

Я понимаю, что в целом в стиме есть недоверие к Early Access - но ты реально считаешь, что мы этих людей годами заставляли играть в веб версию игры, а теперь принуждаем их писать обзоры тут? :)

Спасибо.
