Why is the base game only $39.99?
Seems kinda fishy. There's probably a catch for the base game being that cheap in 2024

Not really, no. You're just used to Triple-A devs charging $70 and consider that the norm.

the anticheat needs root access to your computer. if thats a personal issue for you wait til they switch. its a budget option. otherwise, no catch. just a good game for a good price

The stuff you get in the extra edition isn't all that great either.
All the components of all the best meta load outs are in the 40 dollar game.

And the paid battlepass can be unlocked with a fairly reasonable in-game grind.

They have a secret pay to win store that sell in-game items for upward of $10k real money for some of the best guns, that automatically kill everything without you pulling the trigger.

Asmongold would play way more if this were remotely true.

Funny but not true. There's only like four decent guns and they're all available for free with some grinding.

its $40 because its an indie game title and that is the standard indie price for a full game. also it is a more traditional price point that is far more appealing to the masses than the AAA recycled garbage that sells for $70.

As for anyone claiming pAy tO WiN. The game simply is not. The premium warbond unlock is pretty worthless compared to the free unlock. And the free unlock gives you just enough SC to unlock premium just by playing. You get 800 SC for leveling up and you grind the rest by finding it in game at 10 SC per stack. Then when you unlock the premium warbond you also get 300 SC again. So unlocking the premium is only 700 SC after completely leveling it.

Or people can be lazy and pay money to skip about 50 hours of gameplay. Then scream pay to win like we keep seeing.

Because it isn't a cashgrab AAA title where most of the production costs went out the window to pay marketing and PR folks

That's literally how much a pc game should cost. The max a sane person should be willing to pay is like 50 bucks if game is 9/10. Unfortunately gamer consoomers buy 4/10 crap fpr 70 bucks.

No catch. The price tag is reasonable. Other companies just got too used to charging 90$ for garbage games.

Brother has been playing so many ubisoft games that he has no idea about game pricing.

"You mean I don't have to play $70 or $100 for a deluxe edition? There's no currencies that you can only get from real money? What do you mean the items in the premium battlepass is not pay-to-win? That's hella sus...."

Lol, no you are just used to getting ripped off by video game companies. This is a well-priced game.
