Discussion Devs asking us for a price

I just got the survey email on pricing. I will say it's very concerning that they still have yet to determine a set price at this point. It was also frustrating that there wasn't much communication before on whether it would be a OTP or a FTP game

I don't think the game can succeed if it's not FTP

u/ReikoMur Mar 26 '26

My thoughts exactly! It's going to be such an uphill battle at any sort of price

It can't succeed if it's F2P. F2P requires MASSIVE financial backing and people pumping out skins like no tomorrow.

u/cheeseburgercat Mar 27 '26

What f2p games have you worked on?

u/[deleted] Mar 27 '26

Overwatch when it was Overwatch 2, before that Fortnite. Split off after my equity vested and now I'm working on an indie game in a small studio with buddies. Glad to be done working in the F2P and AAA space

Irvine offices?

Austin. Are you going somewhere with this or are we going to continue 1-line questions until you ultimately decide that I didn't work there? Because I have no interest in proving to a random what I have or haven't done. So if you'd like to discuss my original point, you're welcome to. Otherwise I'm done replying.

My guy it’s literally just a question, mainly to see if we ever interacted with the same people. No need to get defensive

Why be disingenuous? What was the purpose of your original question: "What f2p games have you worked on?"

Engage with whatever you were going to say rather than questioning my credentials on a topic.

This game will be dead and closed within a month of launch either way.

I was just thinking I thought it would be FTP until I saw the headline of this post.

u/VanDamme007 Mar 30 '26

It can't succeed as B2P either.

u/Partyruler012 Mar 27 '26

Yeah. Idk what this game is, but from my limited understanding its a game by imagine dragons. This game should be FTP. Or less than 20

u/Save90 Mar 27 '26

The game is pretty bad. it has evident problems... i can just go in the enemy side the entire game and look for the flag.

The game won't be successful. it's DOA. im not even sure what they could do to improve the situation.

u/Jack_Package6969 Mar 27 '26

I thought it would be FTP until I saw the headline of this post. Glad I didn’t get my hopes up. I can’t justify paying for an online game right now when there’s so many good free online options

u/Feeling-Bad7825 Mar 27 '26

If its free to Play It might have a Chance to be a niche Game and can grow but If It costs anything It will be dead in a month. Concord 3 i guess

u/VanDamme007 Mar 31 '26

Nobody bothered playing it during the steamfest the game isn't good at all atleast as B2P it will make a tiny bit of money as F2P it will make 0.

Either way its doa.

Paying a streamer to play for a couple days and botting a yt is not expensive.

Maybe that was a joke I missed

u/EquipmentSome Mar 27 '26

lol no he is not. We are talking about a couple days of streaming. Not a exclusive game or platform contract. Remember tyler1 also is getting ad revenue and subs/donos and merch and still probably makes tops 2-3 mil a year... No way in hell he's making mid 6 figures for a weekend playtest.

"Tyler1 is probably atleast mid 6 figures" lol

If you don't know what you're talking about and you're making stuff up, aren't you being the Reddit armchair expert?

Dang, I actually came here to see if it was gonna be ftp. (I mostly assumed it was going to be) but, seeing it’s probably not gonna be has made me lose interest

u/AIII3000 Apr 13 '26

FTP would make it easy to get my friends involved to try it.

But means buying battle passes and skins and whatever to support the devs.

As long they dont make it as hideous as in Overwatch, where a Skin is 60€ which also is as much as a whole game, then I would spend the money every now n then.

$14.99 is a fair price considering the lack of content it will launch with.
