As a technicality you would be correct. Games can be removed from PS+ though and it also lauched day and date on Steam. So calling it F2P instead of a PS+ Day One would be a little harder for fans to swallow on PC where it would still have been $40. See also the aforementioned Halo Infinite which launched on Xbox first then PC but only the multiplayer component is F2P on both. You can play SP with Game Pass Ultimate but you need to purchase a license to do so on Steam.

Yeah! Project Titan or something, wasn't it?
Sony failing to get another live service game off the ground really highlights a few things.
-
How hard it is to launch something in this space. Not only has the market moved away, it was also saturated long before they dropped Condord.
-
Companies (still) fail to understand that a bad launch isn't exactly death. There are several ways they could of tried to salvage this instead of just Zaslav'ing it for a tax write off 2 weeks in. We've seen plenty of examples in the past 10 years of games that were able to turn themselves around and find success. No reason a company like Sony couldn't align resources to make it happen here.

This should of been on PS+ Day One... I get not putting your shorttail, singleplayer, prestige titles up there at launch. I also get not wanting to go completely F2P, a microtransaction enabled MP game though? Why the hell wouldn't you want the biggest audience possible out the gate? Halo Infinite was a shit show at launch but it was free and has maintained a pretty damn solid user base for years because of it. Hell, I've even picked up a few season passes and cosmetics despite never playing a Halo MP game in the past (outside of lan'ing up for Halo 1 waaaaay back).
Lots more thoughts, but the schadenfreude is just too much right now to avoid jumping on a still warm corpse.
Looks like someone redeemed the code before I had a chance to get to desktop. Thanks for the post though! Guess I wasn't one of the first 20,000. Thought we adopted earlier than that. :D
nice! where did you receive the code? I'll try to redeem on desktop, cant copy/pasta on mobile.
is this on their git or fdroid by chance?
This movie is a certified cult classic for me. the story, acting, pacing, all great.
Logan Marshall-Greens physical reactions and face as STEM first takes over in the house fight scene is dope.
Rad. Keep voting for free market, deregulation policies. What's the worst that could happen to your land and livelihood?
Fuck chat bot popups as well. Especially when I'm logged in, via VPN on a company asset to our public, Corporate Website.

Agree with other commenters this sounds like a time share. This last week tonight is a pretty interesting watch about the way they hustle people.
Thankfully Comcast also has a monopoly on Internet in large swathes of the US so they can fall back on that and raise prices to make sure line goes up again.
