Have you ever bought a game that turn into a permanent F2P ?

I remember 2 games, Rocket League and PUBG

Yes, but without a ':(' emoji, a game going f2p is usually good news, more fresh meat to slay.

What was it name... um... was fun coop but they made it unballanced and asked for too much money AND marketing made it sound like Overwatch even if it was completely different thing... oh yeah, Battleborn.

I bought Fall Guys two times (for me and a friend (full price T_T ), Rocket League and Overwatch? (dont know if it counts now :P)
I saw the other reply and remember I bought Battleborn for 5€ too.

Guild wars 2. I bought it when it came out and as a physical copy, and quit when it went F2P. The gold sellers and bots, the world chat became insanely busy. I couldn't stand it and took a break which ended up with me never coming back. I tried to log in again, but everything was so different It felt like a new game, so I left. That, and Lions Arch new look disgusted me.

Was expecting more Team Fortress 2 comments.

PUBG, but not bothered by it since I didn't even play it that much.
Bought it cause of the hype and FOMO back then, lesson learned!

CSGO. Most of my playtime was spent before it went F2P though, so I can't say it was money wasted or anything.

I also got Hammerfight in one of the very early Humble Bundles. It went permanently free in 2019, but it doesn't have microtransactions or anything like that. It's a nice, unorthodox game as well, but very janky. I can recommend it for a unique experience.

Guild Wars 2
Rocket League
Ark Survival Evolved
Battlerite...

Probably others and I could only thing of Ark, but others posting here had me realize what other games had gone F2P. Surprised to hear GW2 did...

Yep, "Evolve" (now its called - Evolve Stage 2). Bought it twice for full price: first time after I played a day of closed beta - its was like "shout up and take my money".
And the second time was like a several days later, after the devs added to Steam page of the game a complete edition (yeah, thous old good time when it really WAS complete edition with all future possible DLC): Evolve PC Monster Race Pre-Purchase. Since there was not a possibility for an upgrade of the game version, so the only way for me was to ask Steam support to delete the game from my account and to buy it again as full edition.
And I dont regret it, it was worth every cent. To bad the publisher ruined the game later with too strict rules for devs with adding patches like only 1 time per 3-6 mounths (at least as i heard it was like that).

Fall Guys, Team Fortress 2, Postal and Awesomenauts are some paid to FTP games I know of having before they went free. I am perfectly fine with the change to free, except for Fall Guys. It should have started out free to play, because all the microtransactions make it a mess.

Crusader Kings 2

Mimpi Dreams is a cute and inexpensive game. I bought it, and then this part became free. By the way, I recommend playing it 😊

Well, there was also a funny case on the SG - I won the Go Go Nippon game, and a week later it was distributed for free ^^

I honestly never thought CS-GO would go F2P, It's one of those must have games on Steam.

Not exactly "bought", but back when I used to play The Lord of the Rings Online, it switched from a subscription model to a free to play model about a year or so after I started playing it. Guild Wars 2 was not free to play when I quit, but it did go free to play later and I did buy it at full price, one of the more expensive versions at that.

In recent years/Steam games, no. I haven't bought any Steam games that went free.

I think one of them was Defiance, and another one was Wildstar (it even had subscription... the servers closed years ago); I got for both physical collector editions at that time...

Team Fortress 2 and Awesomenauts. (Maybe others? I dunno, I don't keep track of these stuff... would have forgotten TF2 if Blando didn't mention it.)

I don't really care. ^_^

Crusader Kings 2, Destiny 2, Guild Wars 2, CS:GO, Awesomenauts, Rocket League, Dirty Bomb.

Rocket League, Fall Guys, CS:GO, PUBG, GuildWars2, Overwatch, Destiny 2 that i got free when purchased my PC... I'm sure i'm missing lot more.

It happened for Republique and Overwatch

Yes, multiples times.
Rocket League, CS:GO, Overwatch, Destiny 2, Crusader Kings 2, Awesomenauts and Postal are the ones that pop up in my mind without to think long or to search in my library.
I assume there were much more.

Death Skid Marks, CSGO, Rocket League, Crusader Kings 2 from the ones I remember. Probably a few more that I don't remember.
