Do you want Overwatch to be free to play?

[Candy Cough]

Discuss, I'd want to to be buy to play so that we can keep the free to play kids out. Dont want the game to become even worse than CoD

Erm COD is buy to play and the kids still play that? Also if you think that the majority of f2p players are "kids" then thats a very sad view

[Colonel Sandor]

CoD required a payment. So your comparison is completely invalid.
Free to play did wonders for TF2 and the term "free to pay scrubs" is pretty arrogant and shines with elitism.

[Wupday]

Cod is hardly free 2 play its more like a short term investment with no payback

[willtron]

One time payment. Done.

I said it would become worse than CoD, Trolls will still come on even if its buy 2 play, but like 90% of the trolls will be executed

[Valeron]

I'd say it pretty much has to be F2P if it wants to compete in the market.

[Ktperry]

I prefer to be buy to play.
Because i dont want to spend money on a game to keep up, if its just cosmetics, like skins or smth, im ok with being f2p, but i still prefer to buy the game, and unlocking more skins/ etc.

[Razorice]

I'd like it to be F2P. I like free stuff. Free Blizzard stuff? even better.

They already have heroes of the storm and hearthstone, besides, starcraft 2 is pretty free, if you got a friend that has everything updated.

[D-Throes]

if its not free to play then it wont compete with tf2 that simple...

Free to play leads to an terrible community and it doesn't seem like the type of game for a subscription. I'm hoping it will be a one time purchase with buyable expansion content.

[Justin-Sane]

It depends. Free to play would be fun and allow players who aren't particularly into the FPS genre to try it without dishing out money, but F2P usually means having to pay micro-transactions, like buying heroes. If it were free to play but the price of buying all the heroes would be roughly the same price as buying the game if it were buy2play, then I'd be in. There's no way I would ever pay a sub for a game like this though.

[Itisamuh]

Either free to play or buy to play would be alright, it makes no difference to me which. A subscription cost would be beyond stupid though.

[4dahorde]

Free to play will likely = micro transactions, making it more pay to win.
Buy and play will likely = little to no decent updates.
Sub based not likely to work out well in a fps game.

I personally don't care...it is likely that I will give it a shot no matter what they decide to do.

Im not really an Elite player when it comes to FPS, but I still want all games since I hate free to play community, See what happened to Runescape and LoL. I once said that runescape sucked on their channel then some random ass dude with 90+ likes said: "This guy is mad because he got his ass kicked in red devil 3" Like seriously, what the fuck is red devil 3?

[Stacie]

They will make a "credit" system for sure.. Like you can buy credits for wep upgrades and skill upgrades or earn them through play. Earning will take ages buying will be so cheap you will do it. These small transactions will pay. Doubt it will have a sub.

It will be a pay not to grind game.

[Acidbaron]

F2P, but give me a season pass option that if buy in i get the next n-heroes etc included.

[bison91]

Dont care about the game at all...same as borderlands...i hate borderland . it could be better if not same graphics which are aweful. also..15 more mins til war movie teaser!!

[edmorte]

You really must to be kidding... Paying for that?

I know ppl are bashing it, not cool, but this is just ridiculous.
