In retrospective was the game becoming free worth it?

Was free to play a good thing considering all the negatives that it’s brought?

Personally I think the game was better off before epic bought it and made it f2p but what does anyone else think?

Yup, for example, everyone who bought the game got yellow, blue, green, pink and purple standard boosts, along with a bunch of other stuff. And those dieci oros as a gift when f2p went live.

@galaxica those coloured standards were default items back then. They just removed them afterwards.

@TotalGamer3241 well, idk just how rare they are, but you can't get them anymore, unless you bought an og account, so I guess so

@TotalGamer3241 ah. Well, even though they're not as desirable as black diecis, they technically are rarer, since you could only get them if you paid for the game and played when free to play came out, where as with black diecis, you could only get those through trade up, and trading with others.

@TotalGamer3241 according to Wikipedia there were over 40 million accounts in 2018 so that’s a lot of deci oros out there.

@TotalGamer3241 @SourFrog970 yeah, realistically, blk diecis are rarer , but on paper, oros are rarer, if that makes sense. But I agree, blk diecis are probably rarer & more desirable, in reality

I think that F2P was the one thing that Epic did right. They should have left it alone to do its thing, while they made a bit of money off of it. The Psyonix crew were handling it great, and the game was skyrocketing in popularity. Epic games got too possessive and ruined the game (temporarily).

The legacy items were realy cool and im sad that most ppl cant use them but other things were so much better after the f2p. To be fair beside expensive bundels and the remove of traiding, epic was realy good to the game

Yeah, I think f2p brought a bunch of people into the game, but Epic definitely should have just left it at that, and they would've made more money over time, since it's more appealing to buy some in game stuff in a free game rather than pay for the game (*cough cough, fortnite success story, cough cough*)
