Was anyone even still inetested in this? All hype has died and it's still a Ubishit product.

People are becoming so wary of this now that they feel they need to make statements about it. Grind or pay to win will be the likely outcome of this.

The details they're laying out aren't even reassuring, it reads like your typical f2p economic model :

  • Free Battle Pass Rewards
  • In-Game Challenges, both Daily and Weekly
  • Ubisoft Connect Challenges
  • Weapon Mastery (with regular updates)
  • Community Participation Rewards like Twitch Drops, giveaways, and in-game events.
  • Premium Battle Pass
  • Character cosmetics
  • Weapon cosmetics
  • Faction unlocks
  • Player Card Backgrounds
  • Player animations
  • Emoji packs

To be fair, all of that is in COD and that's a full priced game (at least the multiplayer aside from Warzone).
