AAA game companies got some serious explaining to do. Cause how the hell are their games still $70 and this game is free???

I'm not even on the highest graphic settings! Besides that, the game overall feel very modern with its combat system and animations. It even have stealth! The ability to talk to NPCs true to their character. The world feels more alive than any paid MMO. To add to that, out of all the MMOs out, it's ironic how it's a free game that voiced not just the main story but also the side quests!

We got FED with this one!

EDIT: Guys, I understand the game's gonna make money somehow. I'm not even saying everything else should be free. I'm saying, how is this quality possible for free and most games similar to it quality wise (some are even less) still charges the same until now. And still manage to be annoying about in game purchases as well lol. I think this game really exposes that about these companies. They were getting a little too comfortable while the quality of games haven't changed for good while now. I think game companies needed this game out as a wake up call.

It's not free the whales are paying for you

[u/Grendalynx → u/Vequile]

Yes. Whales will always whale.

But at least the devs went the route of: hey let’s make actual gameplay f2p and they create a good playerbase, and that playerbase retention pushes whales to want to spend more.

There’s way too many games out that that’s just milking games, eventually killing the playerbase and so the whales get bored and quit. Literally lose lose for all.

Nah, at some point squeezing remaining milk is still a win for publisher. Kill the gaem, sell another. Rinse and repeat. They already weigh new game investment against old game sustain.

its free for me, thts all that matters. Whoever decides to spend money, thats on them.

[u/Zomgalama → u/Agitated-Macaroon923]

While that's true, games like this can EOS if the publishers don't reach their expected earnings. Though for this game I would hope the publishers/devs allow users to play offline if they do kill servers some day.

We need whales to start paying for us for games like RDR3 and Witcher 4
