Hi Aidan, It's a bummer you see it that way.

If you don't believe the complete Steam build features are worth it (windows/native/offline/lan/coop/server modes w/ all options/features/fields/loadouts unlocked) - that is ok -- but all of the online multiplayer is still free to play, and will always remain free to play through a web browser, just as it has been for the last few years for all our players.

There is no obligation to get the new steam complete version if you are uninterested in the additional features it has available.

I hope this helps clarify! Thanks for the inquiry.

TBH what I miss most about modern games is offline play-ability. This paid version provides not only that, but a badass version of offline gameplay to boot. In my eyes, this is completely worth the money. Not to mention the devs deserve the money since the game has been free (and will continue to be free) and actively worked on for a while now.

sad to not see this game free to play, i think it could have had a decent amount of players...looks fun but not worth $15

Hi Burst3d,

All of the online multiplayer is still (and will always) be free to play through the web browser @ www.2DPaintball.com, as it has been for years. So any new players can play for free, the full online game with everyone (through your web browser.)

The Steam version is the "complete" game, native on windows, with offline/local/lan/coop/server and everything unlocked in single player and has the f2p multiplayer attached in the client, it's everything the game has to offer in a native game client, with new features (what we couldn't do through the web);

We are also continuing to build out these new features in the steam version (as it allows us to), along with maintaining/hosting the multiplayer servers for all players, and updating new multiplayer features and servers.

I hope you understand, thanks for your interest in our game.


Eiernacken,

When we were reviewed by steam, we were assigned a f2p tag for our online multiplayer, but it is interesting that we are listed this way by steam.

We've heard the feedback and are preparing a new companion build that will be free to download. It will include only the Online Multiplayer (F2P) portion of the game.

Thanks for the inquiries; Keep an eye out the next few weeks!
