About time. It really should have done this sooner. Probably too late now, but I'll at least try to talk a group into playing it.
Could have done this from the beginning, but fuck that, need that short term cash.
I might try the game out - I heard moderately positive things about the actual gameplay but no way I'm going to pay for a dead game.
Didn't they say that going F2P was basically not doable for some stupid reason when they announced the shutdown? Or am I thinking of a different game?
Both this and battleborn said the same shit saying F2P wasn't feasible.

They said in April it would be difficult to pivot to a free-to-play model.
Barely 2 months later, huh. Yeah, lots of publishing planning and resources.
Oh man, so much publishing planning and resources.
tbh I wouldn't be surprised if their publisher had told them to fuck off and make it f2p, to try to recoup something.

Currently is peaked at 17 players.
They shouldn't be so quiet about it
It's E3, they should be screaming this from the rooftops.
Now's the time!
Except this isn't a new business model, the developer is gone and the game is shutting down, and any in-game purchasing is disabled. This is just opening the game up until that point because they don't have a reason to care anymore.

I'll actually be able to play a round.
Im going to try it for shits and giggles.
It's honestly a pretty good game. The timing was just really bad.
This isn't a F2P business model. The game has had its final nail in the coffin so the game is just free until the servers go offline.
Can confirm it is pretty neat. Can't say I'll play it for long - but I do enjoy it as a chaotic shooter.
Should have done this at launch. It was a fun game, but a lack of interest compounded with the price tag gating entry was too much for it.
I tried it, not my cup of tea. Mostly because there's so much shit going on that it puts OW to shame. Characters are hard to understand/read what the hell they can do. Plus the gamemodes are just dumb. You have basically 1 flag CTF but you have to hold the flag to charge it. Then once its charged you have to hold it for 15 seconds. That entire time anyone can steal it, so people just waited outside before rushing in to take it at 100% charge then camp back at their base to score. Or a domination mode that perma locks points when captured which the "round" ends when all the points are capped. Then it goes to a break where you wait for the points to open again and it starts again. That would be great if the points were all in the middle of the map, but it still has the halo/CoD dom placement of one in each base and one in the middle. So making a come back is painful once a team caps one extra point in the enemy base.
It's just a mess, and although the zero G areas are fun to fight in, I started to feel a little dizzy playing it for too long.
