How is 2K so two-faced? Their Wrestling stuff is total bullshit, but Borderlands (though yeah, it has plenty of DLC) and Rockstar stuff is awesome. Can't tell if they're a good publisher or not.
Wow, how generous of them.

Because without adding new content, MP only games will die off pretty quick- Titanfall suffered that fate some after.
I don't understand why you wouldn't want a PC version of *everything*. It's almost always the best version of a game provided you have the hardware to run it well. Infinite forwards compatibility as well.
But yeah, lmao
Oh my lord.
I repeat.
FUCK. OFF.
Truly a sign that pre-order culture has gotten way out of hand.

Well you know they could have it NOT be paid and actually support their player base that paid full price for their game.

More money is preferable to less money.
Long-lasting releases and sustainable communities are not something publishers traditionally count on, nor care about.
Players support the publisher, publishers do not support the players.
Going free-to-play is not the answer.

They have lost their minds. There is no way I'm touching this game.

Definitely passing on this now.

100% this. Even if I planned to buy this, I would be thinking twice now. They've torn this game to pieces to push this DLC.
I pre-ordered it on Amazon to get into the Alpha/Beta and try it out for myself. No money shifted hands and it is now cancelled.
Yeah but you don't pay for that game.
Hopefully... HOPEFULLY... this is a sign that they have no plans to segment their user base by providing map DLC, and new maps will be free for everyone.
Hopefully...

I thought that was their thinking behind full retail price. "We'll have a $60 multiplayer-only game and we'll maintain that price, rather than it going to the bargain bin after a month, by constantly supplying DLC".
I guess not.

Being free-to-play has nothing to do with limiting your paid DLC to cosmetics (skins, accessories, weapon effects, etc.) and not gameplay-changing character unlocks and community-fracturing map unlocks..

So they won't split the community by making maps paid dlc.
But isn't having the separate hunters and extra monster as dlc going to do just that?

The maps are free. Already confirmed.
No? You buy them and then you can play as them or not.
It's nice of them to make the maps free but clearly they just want to make that up by having high asking prices for those characters.

No wait, 2K...you do know I played this shit heap right?
With today's little announcement it will be a pleasure to see this game twist and burn. Ugh.

Paid releases don't rely on a long-running community, whereas free-to-play games do. The design philosophies are at odds with eachother.
And it's easy to guess the sort of microtransactions 2K would come up with, after this thread.

You can play with anyone regardless of dlc. You can against the Behemoth, with a new hunter ally, with non of the dlc purchased yourself.
All maps will be free.

Additional monsters will be 14.99?? Additional hunters will be 7.49??
Whelp. I guess I'll be waiting for that 75% off sale in the Steam Winter sale.

Well doubt we'll have to wait long for it to hit 75%.

With how Steam is doing sales nowadays, don't expect DLC to be discounted the same as the base game (or at all).

I'm glad they're so upfront about being money-grubbing bastards.
The word about having to pre-order to get the 4th monster was enough for me to say no to this game.
All of these other details make me feel like I made the right decision.

You can play with anyone who has the new hunters and monsters, you just can't play as them.

So what would someone who buys the base game after release actually get? No skins, four hunters and three monsters?
Makes me wonder how many "DLC class is OP" posts are gonna happen come release, rightfully or not.

GO's not F2P though. Sure, it's not full retail priced, but you still have to pay for it.
Maps are free.

I went for moderate anticipation to 'fuck this shitty ass game'. I'll stick with Left 4 Dead 2.
Nah, base game comes with 4 hunters and 1 monster unlocked and you have to grind to unlock the remaining 8 hunters and 2 monsters.
tl;dr 12 hunters, 3 monsters, 12 maps.
Make content free? Or let's say make a level editor on 'outsource' that to community.
Multiplayer games market is pretty flooded.
Not necessarily free-to-play, but hats or gun skins can work on paid games too.
Thought not sure if it would work on consoles since there's no trading / market like on Steam.
But I think this is rather bad way to do extra content.
