It doesn't seem like things are picking up for Lawbreakers. Rather the opposite.

That certainly was quick.
Edit: I'll say early March is when I expect Lawbreakers to go free to play.

listen to the mad man
I wanted to add a poll but I was worried people would blame Nirolak.
So just to be clear:
Question: F2P?
Choice 1: Before December 31st, 2017
Choice 2: After December 31st, 2017

Thor: The Dark World
If they're wise, it will be before the game falls under complete irrelevance, so choice 1.

Choice 1, as they'll want to staunch the bleeding, but I'm honestly not sure how much good it will do. This game has a lot going against it. For me personally lack of co-op/bots is at the top of the list.

I'm thinking after. But with that said, I'd totally jump into this game if it went F2P. Reviews were solid, and it looks fun, but no one is going to buy a $30 game when the userbase is the small. It's kind of a catch-22 situation.

That sucks
People may not like Cliffy, the games art, or the games "attitude" but it plays amazingly well.

It has to be before December 31st.
Lawbreakers is quickly hitting irrelevance. And once Destiny 2, Battlefront 2, COD WWII are out, it'll be irrelevant in the console game space as well. Excuse me, the PS4 space as well.
Like...surely they must be realizing this. Battleborn atleast floated for a bit because it was a joke that people wanted to try to see why, but Lawbreakers isn't even that.

Hate to break it too you, but it's already at that point of complete irrelevance. 431 concurrent people peak...just think about that for a second.

Double digits player count or F2P first?
Not that F2P is gonna help. This game is done.

How long did it take for Evolve to reach this sorry state?
I know it's a totally different type of game, but even going F2P couldn't save it.

Figured the Destiny 2 beta would hurt it even more.

If I'm doing my math right that means less than 1% of the ~7,500 players at the all time peak are still playing it now. That's insane.
Good point, people will play almost anything if its free. Maybe it was just the hype cycles but I was way more excited about both of those games than I ever was about Lawbreakers though.Well, it should at least go up a bit from where it is:

Fixed that for you.
I mean, it's still a bit fresh, it would be better to do it now than in a year, that's what I was saying.

How does this compare to Battleborn and Evolve?

More like RecordBreakers amirite
They have already said that will take some time to rework stuff iirc like 6 months if that was on the cards(Which it isn't). Also has shown with evolve F2P isn't the saving grace of everything and strong case of the same happening here due to things like skill barrier.

Hope ps4 version is doing better for them.
Choice 3: They claim it isn't free to play but release a free 'trial' version which is basically the full game, and cliffy says "none of that free to play p2w bullshit"
It looks like about a year if I'm reading SteamCharts correctly.

I wonder how PS4 is doing

The most frustrating part is they keeping saying "We're not talking about doing F2P"
Hey, as someone who bought the game and likes it, y'all motherfuckers need to just do F2P. The player base obviously needs the boost, I would be fine with them just throwing some Stash Boxes as a make good to players who already bought into the game, but they need to just pull the trigger and make it free that way there is anyone still around to play the game with.

Well, if it is the Dark Souls of shooters maybe it will take a while to be noticed and spread......but not likely

I can see recovery if they do a relaunch into F2P with a big content patch, but like you said it has to be within this year.

Yeah it can't feel good. Maybe they can turn this ship around but I'm just not sure.
