Some ruskie on the Gearbox forums saw that they're adding a premium currency to the game, they've since "fixed" the accidental update to the live server.
How can a game shit the bed this hard?

Because they didn't make a new brothers in arms game
>>341155981
Gearbox doesn't seem to understand what makes mobas work so they figured they could ride the Borderlands fame and people would eat it up.
jesus christ
has a game ever went from paid to F2P as quickly as this?
>>341155981
Ugly as fuck art direction, cluttered U I elements.
>getting cucked this hard by Blizzard
This is just embarrassing.
>>341155981
because waifuwatch has waifus and stillborn has mingers
>>341155981
>battleborn free to play after a month and a half
>>341155981
If this was any other dev I would feel bad but I really really dont like Gearbox.

From 60 dollars to F2P, not even 2 months.
Let that sink in.
>>341157384
that they aren't stupid and realized no one will buy it but it might have a chance to break even if it was f2p like many people thought it would be?
many games have been saved and are still around because they went f2p. It's literally just a matter of how greedy the company is.
They only charged 60$ because they wanted to get the money asap rather than commit to a model that would keep the game around for a long time.

>official twitter proud of things they are adding to the microtransaction cash shop as the remaining fanbase crumbles to dust
this is a goddamn train wreck and i cannot look away
>>341155981
there is no way unless they are goona refund season pass holders or something. I was surprised when they announced the season pass specifically because of this.
>Threads on the forum regarding f2p currency are getting locked
They're not going f2p (yet). They're adding microtransaction
>>341159010
gotta milk that current community before they fuck it over and wait for the f2p community come flocking in.
lord knows in a few months people are going to be whinning about overwatch being shit.
>>341159476
And they started with micro-transactions.
Woah, I thought they would've waited for the last of the DLC to drop before going this route.
Ah well, I paid half price for it and got around 80 hours of enjoyment out of it. I don't feel gypped.
Thank fuck I held off on getting the season pass too.
>>341155981
>People paid 60$ for this less than 2 months ago
Absolutely hilarious.
>tfw defended this game for hours and hours on /v/
>tfw you get called a shill dozens of times a day despite doing it for free
FUCK YOU GEARBOX NOW I LOOK LIKE A BUFFOON.
>>341161187
Seriously if they lock tier 2 skins behind a paywall I'm going to be fucking pissed. I have 300k ingame currency saved up to spend on gear boxes when they finally release them.
ALL THE CURRENT SKINS ARE JUST FUCKING RECOLORS DON'T YOU DARE FUCK ME LIKE THIS AFTER I VOUCHED FOR YOU.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA
>>341161931
I agree, that would suck dick.
First and foremost, gotta see what buyers get for "backing it."
And then laugh at Gearbox fucking the few people who bought their game.
>They had a Season Pass and everything lined up
Oh dear.
>>341156496
Only thing I can think of is DC Universe online. Went from retail + monthly sub to free to play in 10 months.
>>341155981
>Have a friend who shilled this game hardcore and still tries to regularly play it
>Paid full price for it too
>>341155981
when will it be free? i want to play it but not interested in shelling out $60
