Since Evolve's fairly disastrous launch, a huge chunk of the community has been calling for the game to go free-to-play. Well, as it turns out - developer Turtle Rock has listened, and as of July 7th, it'll be a fully free-to-play game... on PC.
The devs put out a fairly heartfelt message regarding the game's position as a paid game, it's reception, and that whole 'DLC shitstorm' that went down post-launch (their words, not ours!). That full message can be read here.
So the result? The game goes free-to-play on PC. But that's left an awful lot of the console playing community totally pissed-off... as this comment thread will testify (Control+F / Cmd+F 'Console' and see for yourself here).
So what's next for those of us that bought the game at retail price, and even those that bought a season pass?
The Evolve forum's moderator and 'resident monster doodler' writes that console players should keep an eye on Evolve's Twitch channel, though, and that they should keep an eye on official Evolve channels for an update soon.
To us, that sounds like something is certainly in the works regarding Evolve's place as a paid game on console. One line in particular is telling:
This confirms there will be console changes... what form they will take remains to be seen.
