Quake Champions Goes Free-to-Play [Aug 10, 2018, 9:11 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
At QuakeCon today id Software announced that Quake Champions is now
free-to-play, bringing the multiplayer shooter full circle to its original
launch price.
Bethesda.net explains they still consider the game to be in Early Access,
that they are selling premium packs to help monetize the game, and what F2P
players can expect in return for their no money:
WHAT DO I GET WITH F2P ACCESS?
Free-to-play players get access to all Quickplay, Ranked and Arcade game modes and maps currently available in Early Access, plus two free Champions: Ranger and Scalebearer. New players can unlock more Champions by completing the in-game tutorial and by earning Favor — in-game currency used to unlock Champions and Backpacks — just by playing matches!
Additionally, there’s one free Champion on rotation every week. Try them all out and see which ones fit your playstyle. Once you’ve found a new favorite, you can purchase Champions to own using Platinum, Quake Champions’ premium currency.

It's almost painful watching them maneuver this unfortunate pile of manure. They failed, instead of focusing on making the game another competitive mechanics game I think it would have been better to create a multiplayer experience more influenced by Quake 1 & 2 than 3.
Well said! Got it last year even paid cause i wanted to support the effort. Let's just say i got a full refund. With regards to the multiplayer experience, CS GO has a server browser and it's still one of the major players on the competitive e-sport scene.
..."if you build it, they will come.." Well they're waiting for someone else to build it make $ so they can scramble and copy something they pioneered lol.
