[FREE TO PLAY] EVOLVE

https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/bp96V/evolve-going-f2p

where is the option "i would prefer if the game was full price"? because i really dislike the notion that multiplayer games have to be f2p. did you guys all forget how negative f2p can be for the gameplay? either they implement gambling elements into the game (crates + cases), or they try to get you to pay for progress by creating a grindfest. there are a few exceptions, but in general i really don't like the idea of f2p, and it makes me a sad panda that lately everyone seems to think a few bucks for a premium multiplayer experience is too much, and it should all be "free".

i'm speaking generally here. not necessarily saying Evolve is a premium multiplayer experience.

I think i will give it a try :)

I plan on picking up the beta tomorrow and giving it another chance, I played it with a friend on console when it first came out and it was alright I guess, just nothing super great

Was hyped about the game back when it was first released. Not so much now though :\

wow finally, they waited way too long for this, I think the game is doomed anyway. It had a player daily peak of 300 if Im correct.

Wait! What?? I won it on Steamgifts two days ago xD

I played the beta and enjoyed it enough, but only bothered to actually pick the game up recently when it was on sale for £5, mainly due to the ridiculous amount of DLC for it. Curious to know what F2P elements they're going to use to pay for it all. I doubt it's going to make a huge difference to the player base though unless they make all the season pass(es) content included in it or something, because F2P or not, there's hardly any content without it.

The thing I don't understand is why they waited for the steam sale to end before announcing this. People will feel cheated now when they learn that the game they bought on discount, is now going F2P just days after the sale.

Aw man I bought it back then.

Thanks Merkel.

A misstep - obviously the thing that would save them would be a third season pass.

Next up: Battleborn

I bought this on the first day it was available, expecting it to be a fun twist on Left 4 Dead.

Stopped playing the moment the slew of DLCs started dropping, and haven't returned. Bullshit nickel and diming of customers, after selling the game at full price.

got it back then, when it was on price error in the Indonesian steam store (still ROW then and months before release)
for 4 TF2 also 2 other copies which i traded for ~ 12 TF2 each so no "rigrets"

6/10 game anyway - that little content when it released for the whopping price tag of 60$ ...
as people used to say, thats the EVOLUTION of DLC-robbery - now look where it got them > F2P "peasantry" X-D

this will definitely bring the game back to life as it looks good and plays nice, at least for 10-20 hours

Bugger, loss of CV right there!!

Pre-order and two season passes. Give me my money back. Meh. ;(

Good going devs. I'll give it a try.

I'll be interested to try this game. If it has a SP mode (even if it's the shitty one with bots) than I'll probably play more than just one game, but if not then iDC unless it's actually fun.

if they released Evolve F2P, can i still activate the Monster Pack Expansion? (key)

Free game? Cool, ive always wanted to try Evolve. Although I had no idea it was an MMO. I thought it was just about dinosaurs.

A $60 AAA game that charges you for dozens of skins and for new classes should only be a F2P business model, this was a disgrace for Turtle Rock.

Well at least i get founder status woo :D heh

It`s ok for online game with no players online) I understand butthurt of those guys who bought it for 60$, but this game has no sense without players.

There is plenty of players actually. Takes 5-15 seconds to find the other people and you are ready to go.
