Well, F2P is better than “pay 50 bucks for the base game, then 15 bucks for every month after the first couple “free months” and then pay extra for all the frickin awesome stuff as well”. F2P sounds fair to me; better than a demo, isn’t it?

?explain that for me?
Hi there,
Thanks for emailing! Afraid we can’t reveal too much about our unannounced title yet. I can tell you that it’s a PC-exclusive game and that it will be free to download and play.
We’re huge fans of Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory and we’ll continue to build on the mechanics we established in ET all those years ago.
Kind regards,
Steve

Hello attack and welcome to the forum! Let me introduce you the posters best friend: the EDIT BUTTON at the bottom of your post.
No, no, it’s ok, don’t bother. It’s kinda strange though, that I haven’t read something like that somewhere in this forum before. But then again I haven’t read every thread and post here. Maybe there was some kind of F2P announcement in the ET forums wich I never read, since I haven’t played either ET games.
PS: Woul’ve liked to play QW:ET, but totally forget about the game until I bought Brink and registered here. I’ve read an article in a gaming mag long before QW:ET’s launch, but never heard of it’s actual release until I’ve registered here. Very sad. Don’t know who QW:ET’S publisher was, but he did a very poor job.
I’m just glad these guys are still independent and in the business, delivering goodies for us.
A team based shooter that revards skilled aimers and teamplayers, is my preference. Hoping for something along those lines. Take your time, SD, and go for quality.
no, its not better, “free-2-play” is only a word, its good then u talk about old game that go F2P, cos there is no reason to sell it for 15$ or 5$. Team Fortress 2 and Quake live is a good example.
If game is F2P from the start, its more like, “Yes u can play free, but if u pay $ u will have more XP, more weapons, better armor and etc.”
For a last year i played sum of the F2P games:
So in the end its like a - U can play for free but u have to grind like an idiot, wasting your time, cos if u dont u suck. Or pay, but if u start paying u will give away much more then 50$.

Right and not right. First, it totally depends if the game’s publisher is a greedy SOB, or a reasonable guy. Second, there are games wich cost you 50 bucks for the base game, 15 bucks a month just for playing them online and further cash for extra goodies(wich is like retail market cobbled with a F2P system)
Blacklight and Gotham City Impostors for example are easy to play even if you pay nada. And look at the DLC market. Now every game comes out with the DLC in mind, or with preorder bonus. That’s not exactly F2P, but you never get the full game either. So F2P spares you the cash for the base game, and as long as you have a reasonable publisher you won’t pay much more than 50$ or € in the end.
If I see a publisher is a greedy prick then he can play his game for himself. In the end he’s depending on the customer, not the other way around. There are too many games out there. If someone confuses me with the proverbial “cash-cow” I give him the literal go “F” yourself.
I have to agree with your points, F2P can be a much better option then all this DLC and preorder bonus crap. But Bethesda as a reasonable publisher? After RAGE and Brink?
But the thing is, SD isn’t Bethesda anymore. Future games will be published by Warchest and SD.
Just googled Warchest and didn’t found much aside from this, wich is basically this site here.

Below the name Warchest is written “Free Multiplayer Games”. My guess is that Warchest is SD itself. Just the name for their publishing section. Address and all is the same and the guys on the pic are also from SD. So, no evil Bethesda.
Yes, I like that bit. I remember when I first saw the id-logo on a SD game and I felt that it was special and a milestone. Now i feel that I am experiencing yet another important step, when SD, Warchest, and Fireteam(who are incidentally hiring, I think) are working on some kind of new PC game together. They are all SD spin-offs, if I understand it correctly, and/or tightly connected to SD.
Not sure though. All I know is that we should probably add all these (warchest, sd, fireteam) to our twitter/FB, unless we have already done so, and help them in their marketing/spread some goodwill - if I may humbly suggest something to you all who, like me, like to hang out on the SD forum.
http://www.warchestgames.com/press/new-british-publisher-warchest-will-be-aaa-and-free
The founders of award-winning AAA developer SPLASH DAMAGE® today announced the formation of WARCHEST™ Ltd, a brand-new Publisher of free digitally distributed games with high production values for all leading platforms.
Warchests - Marketing/Publishing
Fireteam - Back End Tech (database stuff)
Splash Damage - Developer
Thing to remember though is that while these three companies are pretty much one it doesn’t mean they’re exclusive to each other. SD were pretty clear on that. So Warchest will publisher other developer’s games, Fireteam will offer services to others and most importantly SD MAY still do work for another publisher.
All I’m really really hoping is that this isn’t is a big build up for a global RAD Soldiers release. Well if they got an Android version done over these last few months and launched that at the same time I wouldn’t be too mad.
Thousands of ninjas are crying when you say that. Those are samurai weapons.
