fucking smurfs like this topic
smurfs can also just use steam family share, then it's completely free as well + you get all the DLCs too, if you have them on your main account you're sharing with.

In the current state, pls keep it as a "buy to play" as a f2p would not be sustainable (I think)

It seems from the structure of the Commanders, loadouts, and war spoils that they must have had something like this in mind at the beginning. Especially considering their foray into COHnline.
At this point the game is getting long in the tooth and basically everyone who would have bought the game already has. By making it free to play they can bring new people in that might eventually buy commanders and factions. As a owner of the COH2 bundle I'd be happy to have an increased player base so that a more balanced automatch might be possible. If this game stagnates newer games like Iron Harvest will chip away at the player base making matchmaking more difficult.
As long as they can keep out the cheaters.

These stats are supported by steamspy stats that I posted previously:
https://www.reddit.com/r/CompanyOfHeroes/comments/a53q4w/coh2_steamspy_1_million_new_ftp_players/
According to steamspy (API data):
0.5 - 1 million CoH copies were given away during FTP weekend.
Total Owners: went from 2.2M (7/12-18) to 3,211,000 (10/12/18)
This graph now displays the share of total owners of the game that played it in the last two weeks:
On 10/12/18; 21% active player base (out of 3,2M) is the highest in years.
Since last update, I think it's over 4M owners now.
CoH2 discounts/giveaways devalue the base game.
Steam selling base game for 19,99€ make Relic/Sega vulnerable to re-sellers such as Kinguin and G2A (the secondary market/gray market).
The truth behind those mysteriously cheap gray market game codes
https://www.polygon.com/2015/2/9/8006693/the-truth-behind-those-mysteriously-cheap-gray-market-game-codes
Gravity Ghost isn't the only title on sale at Kinguin, or at its competitor G2A. On these and similar marketplaces you can pick up just about any game you want, including triple-A titles, often at huge discounts. Steam keys, Origin keys, gift keys and even codes from the back of pre-purchased retail game cards — these storefronts have it all.
*SNIP*
R told us that he makes between 1,000 and 1,500 Euros in total revenue per month on his store, or between $1,100 and $1,700. During the holidays, he says, that can rise to more than $2,200 per month. We asked if this was his full-time job, to which he responded, "Something like that." We can't really be sure if his store on Kinguin is his primary source of income.
OUR SELLER SEES MONTHLY REVENUE OF $1,100 TO $2,200 PER MONTH
From the perspective of consumers, the sale of gray market games makes sense. Sometimes people receive games as gifts, or as promotional offers and either do not want them or do not need them. Promotions like Steam discounts and Humble Bundle sales are timed offers, and invite those with the means to make speculative purchases, investments of a sort, where game keys are farmed with the intention of selling them later for a profit.
