H1Z1 Becomes 2 Separate Games

rwby: ge is a paid early access game.

Finally, they said it! A company's sole purpose is to grab money. Good on the studio for charging money for a game they said was going to be free. The point of "free to play" is to get the user base built up and microtransactions are to supplement the lack of initial revenue. Since they're going to charge less than retail for it, I don't see what the problem is with keeping microtransactions in the game. Also, it has a pretty solid user base so there isn't really a need for bringing in more people en masse. Let's face it, the players that would have played it if it were free weren't going to pay them anything anyway. So it's not exactly a loss on the part of the studio

Game development is a business. People need to make a living. The problem I see with this situation is that they announced early on that the game would be free to play, but ended up not being able to support it. Seems like they didn't think the pay structure through before announcing it to the public. I also don't understand splitting the game into two. Their splitting up their audience and now have two games to support rather than one. At least with one, people might try the other mode and when it comes to support you're only dealing with one install. All in all, just seems like another miscommunication and planning by another company

Please never compare this game to DayZ ever again, please, you just diseased Dayz, its heartbroken now :'(.. but good news is, if you paid for h1z1 early access, you dont need to pay anything for the new versions

Just play Day Z. Or hell, play the mine craft versions of both games.

The Battle Royal references were awesome! The book was great and the movie, I feel, did it justice.

H1Z1 had micro-transactions EVEN THOUGH it was always going to be a paid game. That game is trash, even the Battle Royale was a waste of time. I hope they get sued by the creators of the Battle Royale film so they can't make this scam. I wish I could refund all of it ;-;
