    Glad to see I’m not the only one that ended up liking Flintlock. I downloaded it when it hit gamepass cause I was just like can’t hurt to check it out and ended up actually really digging it. Agree pretty much with what you said graphically probably could have been better but game wise it was a pretty strong experience.

  13. probably one of the biggest flops/miscalculations in gaming in a long ass time

    implement a battle pass and get that fucker free to play immediately

    cutting their losses quickly is kind of nice for once lol

    I'd have to assume this is what they pivot to. Legit the only way to recoup SOME of their losses.
    Props to Sony for doing this in 2 weeks. Refunds for everyone!

  16. Genuinely insane it wasn’t the plan from the get go. Why pay $40 for this shit when all the other top games in that market are F2P

    room temp IQ decision making

    Absolutely wild that they’re giving up already.

    good on them for giving refunds at least. But yeah, wow. That’s insane.

    putting a price tag for a game like this always seemed so strange, especially from the get-go

    i'd be surprised if they bring it back online, this seems like a polite way to kill it. they spent like what, 100mm on developing it. the free beta had ~700 players on steam, i don't think making it FTP with a battle pass is gonna get them the ROI they need to keep it alive. just close it down and write it off as a very expensive loss

    People wrote it off before it came out. Going free to play wouldn't have saved it. It was a fun game, just nothing new.

    Then there's the whole crowd who just pushed to get it shut down with such negativity and bigoted bullshit.

    Feel bad for the devs.
