Warbots. Either that or I’d seen an ad for something with a really similar name. Herm

And you guessed it, another F2P game will become paid soon.
We’ve all heard the news about the runtime fee, right? Unity has killed the free to play model with the whole installation fee thing, so im gonna have to put a price of a WHOLE DOLLAR on this game.
so make sure to GET IT FOR FREE WHILE YOU STILL CAN!!! GET IT BEFORE OCTOBER FIRST BABY!!!
Brace yourself for the best presentation ever made on Steam. Eat your heart out, AAA devs!

Quite frankly doing something like this is probably shooting yourself in the foot. Since the two metrics that decides whether you need to pay or not is income and sales volume. If you tell everyone to grab your game while it’s free you’re going to pump up those “sales” numbers and get a lot higher install counts than you’d normally get. Since you’re also not making any money you’re just pushing yourself into the “Now you’ve gotta pay stupid fees” territory faster for no gain.

I think most of these developers have a different goal regarding these. Once you own one of their games, you are very likely to get updates regarding their future games later on, even push notifications, meaning on Steam in the What’s New category of the Steam Library, so they’re merely giving up on a game that has failed already in order to increase the chances that their future games might at least have the potential to perform better by catching more eyeballs.
