Why do we have to pay for a mod, or this game when the guy who made it put it on FREE

[Tfcancerman]

see it all over the internet for free download.. what gives. did steam by the rights to the game or? just confused. I wouldn't pay anything for such a primitive game... :-\
I would send $5 to the creator though. Steam seems to be getting awefull greedy

[[ACPL] Jon]

... what?

[Dr Begman]

Are you talking about the Beta 5 edition? If so, that version was for when the game was in its early stages.

SteelRaven bought Ravenfield onto Steam himself, and he still works on the game to this day, as far as I know. Plus, purchasing Ravenfield here grant you access to the Steam Workshop, which has hundreds of community-made mods to help you expand the game, in case the base game alone is not enough.

There's maybe more pros I don't know of, but maybe someone else could chime in.

ah, ok so just because its on steam I have to pay for it? sounds GREEDY as hell, considering the maker (and copy-write holder) has the say.. ps only thing thats not free is Steams multiplayer mod... build 25 is free on the microsoft store LOL

[Erectrician]

just searched microsoft store - is not true.
You are just able to download outdated versions or pirated versions by some pos's.
Why is it greedy if they provide firstly the datacenters you are communicating trough? you download many games there and even f2p games? they provide also different tools to help developers with their games and networking for multiplayer inclusion, they support tournaments etc.
i get it is a mainstream fact that every coporate is the true evil but honestly to call them greedy because you are just too stingy to pay for something. Something where another person put thousands of hours to develop into.
get a work and pay for entertainment like everyone else who respects other people.

[P. Good @ Ravenfield patching]

I made the steam version of Ravenfield paid so I could work on the game full time. The steam version has tens of thousands development hours put into it compared to the old free version of the game, that's why it's paid :)

The chad, The legend, SteelRaven7 has spoken.. Can we get vanilla+ added to the game

Don't know how It's greedy as Hell...
SteelRaven7 who reponded in this Thread is the Only Dev to this game.. Steam isn't Ripping you off.
With the paid version you get the workshop, (Which is Literally what makes this game as of right now) you have the base game maps and weapons. with Mods you have a endless selection Kinda of Like Gmod. base game (Is very limited) but endless Selection of Workshop mods
I don't comprehend why some people think everything needs to be free
The man has Thousands of Hours of Development hours into this game. He isn't going to do it for free.

ah, now that makes sense. maybe I'll try it later on,I think there's just too many first person shooters clogging up the market these days. hard to come out with anything different :-\

[KODLIX_user1]

The mods are free...

[Cool_Cucumber_Cat]

The mods are free. There is a free version which is very bad (Beta 5), but the full version is $15. Some idiots also pirate the game and make it free for other people, which is against the law.

[Romanus in spiritu]

I have to say that RavenField is the most worthwhile game I have ever purchase. As a Chinese, I haven't the custom to buy games but finally I buy it. I have no idea where are you from, but it's quality is worthy of it's price.

[RFGCRebelAlpha]

The free version is just an early prototype basically, a solid one at that.
It works very well, even on bad laptops (like my old Intel Core i3-4030U, Intel HD 4400, 6 GB RAM laptop which I gave to my mom)... and is entirely playable offline.
It has all the basics. Weapons, maps, etc.


The full version has a lot more content, mod support, a map editor, etc. It's completely worth buying. Far better than Call of Duty and Battlefield. Playable offline, no worrying about server shut downs or bad internet.

"Take my points" and my money SteelRaven. You made something that is very special to many people and work hard on it. Please add a Rush mode akin to Bad company in the future that would be chaotic and fun and a nice change from the normal modes
