I won’t be buying it, even if it’s free I won’t claim it. Their attitude to the consumer is getting like EA’s, another company I tend not to support. Have they implemented loot boxes yet? It was in the rumour mill as code had been found. Not to mention the wrongful bans, the developer room and the game being generally pants from what I can tell.
What’s mad is Bethesda brought us Doom, a game that must have been incredibly hard to recapture the soul of, and ended up being (imo) a masterpiece. Ran damned well too, FPS cap aside. And let’s not forget Elder Scrolls titles.
I’m only one man, but if enough people vote with their wallets, things will change. The only reason loot boxes exist is because people buy them, same for content chopped out of a game and added as ‘DLC’, titles released unfinished, and £100 ‘ultimate’ editions. Same with the cost of RTX cards etc
Anyways, Humble’s winter sale has still got some decent prices. Northguard looks good at 60% off :
