2K launched 2 new IPs and both fall on their ass...fuck.
What was the other new IP?
Battleborn.
Or DepthI doubt it will come anywhere close to the popularity of Dead by Daylight (another 1vs4 multiplayer game) on PC.
Oh, right. I thought that was Gearbox funded/published by themselves. Hah.
A lot more details in this Game Informer article:

Apparently there is no monetization.
Specific changes:
I thought the big problem in that game is that most matches were a boring blowout. Either monster gets effortlessly slaughtered in short order, or there's 15 minutes of nothing until the monster brutally slaughters the hunters. I don't know how they can fix that.
It is a part of the steam sale...for eternityNo wonder it wasn't part of the steam sale!!

Brilliant
I do wonder how the word of mouth will be if people start playing the game, only to discover that a lot of other players are not doing anything constructive by way of the actual objective. The fact that they've come to realize that people need to be able to rely less on trappers and medics kinda illustrates the point.Even outside of the scummy business model.... the game just was not fun. Wrap it up guys, move on to a new idea.

I hope this works out for them. I really loved Evolve and was disappointed by 2K's marketing as well as the general population being too impatient to learn the ins-and-outs of the game. Hope they don't change too much that alienates the original players instead.
The game was a glorified cat and mouse. It gets very repetitive after awhile. You spend more time running around the map than actual fighting.
I doubt going f2p will save the game, and frankly, I fear the microtransactions will be even worse than the DLC shitstorm.
Just what it needed more skins.Were adding more customization options.
They are still fucking it up, just in a different way. Communication is supposed to be key in F2P games.
I'm not seeing concrete info about whether they'll stop being pay2win and have all non-cosmetic content open from the start like Dota2.
Also not seeing concrete info about what you'd get if you bought the original game on sale now.
edit: never mind, still pay2win. Good luck with that.
This game is the best example that winning tons of awards doesn't automatically make it a good game.
