At this point, it must be a nightmare over at EA. If you go free to play, you have to deal with all of the sales. Whether that's refunds, giving players "free" content, etc, I don't see that ending well. They could go back and rework the game, but that's not realistically possible with time, money, and resources. I have to be honest, at this point, I'm not even sure what the best route is to take. Dice dug themselves a pretty massive hole and when they saw that hole getting bigger, they double downed on it and dug deeper. At this point, I don't see any way out without it getting ugly.
Can you imagine paying 100$ and it goes free to play looooooool …….that’s how you get people on side well done loool.
Why do I get the impression dice hasn’t been completely honest with EA about the state of the game!
- @emerson1975 Odds are they were, EA more than likely didn't listen to the ground floor devs.
I wouldn’t even play it if it was free.
Sadly I bought it at launch. No wait, I actually preordered! Jokes on me!!
EA's probably disappointed because they want a live service platform to sell cosmetics on, but they need a large player base in order to make that profitable.
Now they're talking about f2p in order to boost player numbers and prop up their live service business model.
