Is this the fastest video game death of all time? Not even Lawbreakers died this fast.

    Ultimately, no. It was going to be at first but prior to release, it changed models and ultimately stayed at $30 until it died.

      You know what f2p means to me? It means you can play the game for free but the experience is guaranteed to be miserable because you’re going to have relentless ads crammed down your throat for skins and other bullshit I couldn’t give a single fuck about, and no matter how much you pay it never stops.

      So if it’s between that and just paying $30 for the game, I’ll take the $30 every time. I avoid f2p games like the plague.

        I agree with you. The market didn’t.

          Free to play games have to reach a much larger audience to break even, so chances are it was just as doomed if it was free.

          Your previous statements seem to indicate otherwise:

          Lawbreakers was an excellent game that was killed by executive stupidity.
