He’s not wrong every time a new campaign is added the player base is split to the extant that I now play more with bots than actual people. Combine that with the fact that this is going to mainly be a campaign for people that pay and the number of potential players can be considerably lower.
Don’t get me wrong I got the preorder but I just don’t expect to se many other players…
As you wish. But thanks to internet age, neither had MP in demo so there was no such obvious p2w element as in this stalingrad.
You mean “pay to play” 
or pay to use… or just like pretty much everything you buy in a daily routine. Same principle.
Rather obvious p2w.
You’re not forced to play this standalone full access game if you don’t want to 
Jesus, I should NEVER drink coffee while reading the forums, now it’s spilled all over (again) 
Its quite irrelevant to subject even if every f2p player chooses to skip the stalingrad.
Its still p2w, regardless how much you try to defend it.
Pay to play* Like every game offering a demo beforehand
Except we wouldnt even be having this conversation if it was P2P.
The problem here is the rather obvious textbook example of p2w content.
Monetization is How they make money… but the way you do it can be more Free to Play Player friendly.
Ive played Popular mmos where you could have access to the core of game and buy add-ons that would make your characters look great and you could buy a DLC to explore extra maps.
Things that Can be Monetized without Unbalance:
Costomization perk ( badges, uniforms, weapon cammo, vehicle decoration, extra squad slots, etc)
Things that cause Drama and unbalance if Monetized.
Better weapons, better units, better game mechanics, bigger ammo capacity, etc
THere are so many things that could be monetized without creating unbalance. From the top of my head i can name:
Costomization perks for game roster ( instead of having that basic Sqadd diagrams we have)
Extra Squadd slots (yes we already have it), different Airplane/Tank model paint, Extra Maps ( why on earth can’t we Have extra Maps behing Monetization, kinda DLC style, at least its not balance breaking), We could have historicaly famous units like StormTrooper and Penal Batalions…
We could have a monetized Random Item BOX where players would get a chance to gamble for E-coins only…
