Game should have been free to play

[zevenzeros]

Lets face it the game should have been free to play with a cash shop that they have and paid expansions that come out often. Makes the most sense to get as many people playing the game to also be able to go back and watch a tv show. Then people who watch the show can simply go and download and play the free game.

Not only that the amount of content in the game is very small even casual players are going to blow through the content in the game very quickly and only have PVP, and repeat arkfalls left to do. Its a fun game and really cool to follow story and world along with a tv show i will like but i really do think the game is going to be a ghost town pretty quick.

I almost feel as though they planned it out this way and knew they could sell a ton of copies right away and make a huge amount of money right off the bat. Then when the population starts getting low and no one is buying the game anymore they will change over to free to play and reward people who bought the game before hand with monthly rewards of some sort.

The show makes its own money, not sure what that has to do with the topic.

Dont say yet until we see what kind of DLC's has been planned. First is said to hit on 15th April.

Think about it a bit more..you'll figure it out.

I'm pretty sure they've already more or less made the show already. In addition to that, I don't think Trion makes the TV-show.

as painful as it is, im inclined to agree, this HAS to be F2P to even have the slightest chance of surviving the first 6 months

just compare this with firefall..

If they already have DLC planned to buy in April that would not go over very well. Pretty sure you will get some download content that are a few side missions here and a few story missions that may follow the tv show and some bug fixes not much else.

Why don't you wait and see what they do before moaning, you still get more play time out of this then most other games that are the same price.

you mean the same games that are f2p and features the exact same **** that my payed game does, a payed game that still needs microtransactions to be bearable ?
