Pay to play MOBA?? Are they nuts?

[Sybsidian]

Overwatch, LawBreakers, Paragon, Paladins and like what 20 more in another year? All of these free. and they want us to buy the game for almost 100 plus season pass?! What on earth is gearbox doing???

[Cunstable]

[Triptrippen]

Overwatch and LawBreakers are buy-to-play, get your facts straight...

While that may be true (for now), they aren't charging $100, are they?

Paid beta access does not count.

Call me crazy, but if you charge people money to pay for a beta of a game you're releasing for free, you're going to have a bad time.
Like really really bad.

So, Overwatch is more than likely going to be buy-to-play in the future.
Unless you have $20 million to give to the people who would be rather angry at spending money for something people are going to get for free. :)
Which is just never a good thing.

I was interested in this game until I read about MOBA aspects. I was hoping for borderlands loot/RPG.
Not a game style that should never have existed in the first place. :P

Goodness gracious I came here for this reason. A MOBA for $60 WITH a season pass to boot? Are they nuts?

I see you like looting games. Have you tried new Division? It got me hooked.
Also overwatch is pay to play and has 40 usd price.

[davidb11]

That depends on whether the Division makes Sam Fisher look like Duke Nukem in terms of Stealthiness. :P
I prefer my stealthy games to be about Ninjas after all. :) Not people with guns.

It looks like the Band Shirley Mason sang in?
That's a random statement to be sure. :)

Overwatch is not a MOBA

[Cerberus]

Battleborn is more than just a "MOBA", it also features a single player/Co-Op story mode. It won't have the depth of Borderlands, but it's still one of the game's important features and also features loot.

I'm starting to wonder whether all the people starting these threads are honestly ignorant of that fact or are turning a blind eye to it so their complaints seem legitimate.

Thank you so much! Now I know I will get this in the future.
