Trion Worlds announces a new business plan for Atlas Reactor, saying the team tactics game will be sold via digital distribution, rather than be a free-to-play game as was originally planned. The April Producer’s Letter on the game's website explains how this works, and what it means to players who have already purchased credits during the beta under the F2P model, adding that open beta testing is on the way:

To everyone who has already supported us by buying a Founder’s pack or purchasing in-game credits, thank you so much for your support. We want to make sure you’re taken care of in this transition. As a result, if you have already bought $10 or more of in-game credits, or bought any of the current Founder’s packs, you now own the game! Additionally, if you purchased the Starter Pack, Freelancer Pack, or Trust Pack, you will be receiving a ton of additional rewards.

Today we are announcing 3 new ways to access Atlas Reactor. You can view the new pricing structure here, as well as the premium gifts we are awarding to pre-sale purchasers. These will be available in a few weeks.

$29.99 for full access to Atlas Reactor allows us as developers to focus on the things we believe you care about the most: The competitive, balanced fun rather than store mechanics.

We’re going to be discounting the Atlas Pack to $19.99 for a short period of time. We will also be giving many opportunities to try the game before buying. Free weekends (including the weekend of May 13th – 15th), trials, friend referrals, and the Open Beta are all on the horizon.
