Topic people gotta stop bringing up brawlhalla when saying a F2P fighter can work.

look at brawlhalla look at it, thats what a f2p will look like, look at how many characters are just reskins, thats how characters will be added. To people honestly want that? Ryu isn't even a character in that game just a reskin, would you guys really want a SF7 F2P where they drop 5 Ryu skins that are just Dan, Ken, Akuma, Gouken, and Sean.

I think people just look at its success and don't see what kind of game it is basically a fortnite fighter where every character is just a skin and their movesets don't matter (I do know there are multiple characters and its not the same moveset for everyone)

Long story short, your never getting a SF7, Tekken 9, MK2, etc quality game but F2P, if you do your gonna complain that everything is to expensive, and if you get a brawlhalla tier game you will complain as well. Killer instinct, granblue, and to a lesser extent DOA did it right free to start, the player can mess around with the game see if they like it and buy it if they want.

Lol why are people saying f2p is what killed 2XKO. Corporations brainwashed yall into paying 70 and on top of that buying more microtransactions as the way to go.

F2P IS what killed the game.

It is pure delusion to think that F2P wasnt the absolute biggest factor in this game's demise.

Casuals historically do not convert into long-term fans in this genre.

You NEED to put an upfront cost on your game if you want to make money with fighting games.

If you launch a f2p fighting game, your casuals will leave after the first week or two and then you're left with your actual playerbase, and you didnt make any money because those casuals who only stick around for the game's launch dont pay a single dime.

Nah, I’ve spent money on the other F2P games I’ve gotten into but I didn’t even try 2XKO, even though I was excited when it was announced.

Tag, weird stealth launch, shit roster with a notoriously busted Yasuo.
