I don't understand why you'd ask that. And I struggle to explain why this baffles me so much. Why would you think the devs of a game you like, a game that many people seem to like, might be considering making it free? If it was doing badly, sure. But apparently their business model is working. So why the fuck?
Hey Todd Howard, do you plan to make Elder Scrolls 6 free to play? ... okay, horse armour says bad example.
Children whose parents said no to the $10 funny robot game.
Funny robot game?
I started to watch the trailer and noped out almost immediately lol
It's not "free." It's "have you considered creating a Skinner box that somehow gouges people for more money than any game should cost?"
Now THAT is an honest day's question work that I can respect.
Since it seems to be the sort of game you play with a group of friends, it seems like it might be easier to actually make that happen with a $0 price point since you can ask someone to play without asking them to spend money.
Well, there are a open source games, which are also free to play without microtransactions or other manipulative financing scheme. 0AD, Beyond all reason, Luanti and many more. Free games doesn't necessarily need to implement bad stuff, but some chose to do so.
