Free Stuff: The Thread

[Man_Over_Game]

I wonder whetever that's a sign their strategy is working (we're getting lots of players so if we release even more free games we'll get even more!) or a sign it's not working (number of players isn't increasing, maybe if we release even more free games we'll manage to lure them in!).

Probably more of column B. They have to do something to be competitive against Steam. People won't change unless there's a reason to, and, well, Steam is a thing because there's profit in allowing people to be comfortable and lazy.

Steam lets people be lazy, and you're trying to convince people to put in work so that they can be lazy on your system instead. There's gotta be a good incentive for it.


People are so vehemently against it, though, that a few months back, someone threatened the Borderlands 3 lead designer just because it's being initially released on Epic. People are willing to go far to maintain their comfort levels.
