Paragon ‘early access’ begins 18th March. - NeoGAF

https://blog.eu.playstation.com/2016...l-heroes-free/

Founder's Packs will cost €19.99, and include access to the game, skins, boosts, and other cosmetic items you can unlock by playing. Challenger Packs (€59.99) and Master Packs (€99.99) will include a huge number of skins, unlockable items, boosts, a unique skin and a Founder's Pack to give to a friend. We'll be sharing complete details soon.

 

Paragon is designed so that all players can compete and win without ever having to spend money. All Heroes are free, and cards can only be earned by playing the game. The game will never be pay-to-win, meaning we will never sell gameplay-affecting items. We will sell cosmetic items (skins, emotes), boosts, and other convenience items, along with Paid Early Access, in order to make money. We're taking this approach because we believe that competitive games need to be fair for all players.

I might end up trying this just to see what its like.

The pricing model sounds very good, I wish all companies did their paying options like that. I can't help but wonder if they'll manage to keep that model going though.

Yeah pricing sounds great!

I kinda feel like free to play/microtransactions are maturing into an ok pricing model.

In some games they are but its still rare. I'm glad to see devs still using it, it shows they care a lot about their community and not just money.

Yep, as long as they are used appropriately.

Bought the Founders Pack earlier today. A friend of mine did, too. Definitely playing this weekend.

game looks great but i just don't have time for any game these days.  i'll give it a go after the early access expires and it becomes fully free to play.
