Being paid is better. Less cheaters and griefers on new accounts ruining everyone’s game.
There are still plenty of griefers (mostly PlayStation players in my experience, which is why I have crossplay disabled and don’t join randoms anymore), but imagine how many more would be there if they could use bots to keep creating new accounts to claim the game for free.
As someone who played an unhealthy amount of Rocket League, the transition from paid to free to play ruined the game. The sheer amount of smurfing was disgusting.
That would’ve made the game far worse
That’s pretty much the whole of the article. It was a free to play title until it became a $40 game that would also still operate as a live service game
Fuck that shit. Games as a service is a fucking scam.
GaaS-lighting
Measly 40 dollars.
