Did you play it? I’m not really sure how their monetization worked exactly as it never intruded on my experience. Still, it’s nice they’re dropping it. Early access is doing wonders for the game same as it did for Monster Train I hear, although I didn’t play today until release. They added offline play a while ago, completely redesigned movement to be simpler and more satisfying, and have been adding classes and taking things. The game is excellent, even more so in co-op in my opinion but my friend swears by 1p.
