Is this the fastest video game death of all time? Not even Lawbreakers died this fast.

    Don’t forget the fact that is was a free-to-play game with a $30 price-tag.

      That’s what killed it for me. I really enjoyed the Lawbreakers beta, but paying $30 for a game that would either die at a fixed price or quickly shift to F2P made no sense.

        Executive said, “Fuck it, we’re charging $30”. He thought people would pay that even though its main competitors were f2p.

        It was originally advertised as f2p, at some point they changed their minds and decided to charge for it, clearly it didn’t go well since people already associated it with free.
