Yeah, that was kind of expected.
Hope it can gather more players this way.

As in "Heathcliff"
That explained why they increased the prices for costumes and taunts.

If multiplayer is completely free they're really doing themselves a disservice by calling it a trial.

This still doesn't make the game enjoyable to play.

I'll give it a whirl just to see how it plays.

You still need PS Plus to play this? That's a shame.

Well, it also has a campaign, which I found to be pretty fun.
Hope people give this game a chance, now that it's free.

cool, I'll try it out during the weekend. Really enjoyed the beta way back but i knew it was dead before arrival so i didn't buy it cause of that.
Too late, which is sad. This game had so much potential, as it is still doing things that Paladins/Overwatch aren't (more heavily invested into the moba aspect, creeps, etc). I really wish it was better.
Difficult to get excited about this when the player base is at like 15 people.

Remember when Randy was "surprised" at all three pieces of Rule 34 pics of his characters and kept posting about it like, don't look at this guys it's bad!
Him and this game are treasures.

Should've been f2p very soon after launch but paladins exists now so lol.
It was 5 before...
They should've take the L and move forward.
The game is a joke even before launch and there are just too many better games to spend time on.
It's not bad that they're trying but the game is already so cheap it doesn't matter anymore.
You can easily get it for a few bucks even on console.

Jason Schreier‏ triggered Randy into a mini-Twitter meltdown.
Apparently he wanted it to be labelled F2P but MS/Sony made him label it as a free trial.

It's so sad to see them push this game as hard as they are.
There are bombas, and then there's Battleborn.

Randy Pitchford told me on twitter that it isn't F2P cause its not called that and words matter.
Eh, karmic justice for their Alien game I say.

He's having a meltdown currently.

T2 has really knocked it out of the park with Evolve and now Battleborn. All hail Overwatch.

Is that what its like? Or is it a moba?
I feel like Paladins really capitalized by going f2p. Seems Battleborn was beaten to the punch again, but f2p is simply the best option at this point

Yeah Jason and Randy are going at it over Twitter, no bueno.

I have a coworker who still swears by this game and has been sounding the trumpet for this game since before it came out. Everyone else at the office plays Overwatch instead, but this guy always says how Battleborn will get its moment of resurgence and that it at least has a story mode.

will install just to see what all the fuzz was about then and then probably uninstall after 15 minutes.
Do you work at Gearbox?

Fuck, he is still fighting. An unlimited free trial is the same as F2P.
If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a duck.
If looks like a potato chip and it tastes like a potato chip, it's a potato chip. (Sorry Pringles)

"Fuck, he is still fighting. An unlimited free trial is the same as F2P."
Especially when you unlock characters precisely the same way as most other F2P hero-based games.

I mean technically, we're all enjoying GAF Gold's free trial right now just by posting on NeoGAF.
Too late IMO. Anyone playing Battleborn has moved on.
Kotaku to be blacklisted by Gearbox.
lol. Just take the L, Randy.
