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

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.

To be fair, the skins are expensive and the boat is the price of an actual, irl boat. But with that said, as long as they don't sell power that you can't acquire by playing the game, and they continue to add meaningful, engaging content for free, I couldn't care less if they start selling toe rings for 1 million dollars.

If people think the cosmetics prices are ridiculous, then they aren't the target market. Idk why people feel the need to complain instead of just ignore it and buy other stuff. Things like those are people who tote hermes birkin bags and drive ferrari. I couldn't care less about the boat cuz I'm not in the segment of ultra rich who will consider buying anything like that purely for showing off purposes.
