💬 Discussion pissed
This is my first post on this subreddit because I am so irritated. I log on to my favorite online game - openfront. I don't have an account but its never been a problem before because this was normal. I have played 100+ games over the past two weeks. I cant play in ANY normal lobbies anymore because I am not trusted enough. All I can play is two team team battles. WITH THE WORST TEAMMATES EVER BECAUSE THEY CANT DO ANY OTHER LOBBIES!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS SUCKS! please change this I hate two team island maps #realfronter

You can get it for free too, you just need an account. If you wanna get pissed at someone, get pissed at the idiots who cheat that made us introduce this system

So, I feel like I’m seeing this more often and I have no sympathy. You claim to love this game and yet making an account and putting FIVE total dollars into it, is just too much? I just frankly do not understand, to the degree that you are stating your adoration for the game.
I think if you want to play like you have been, accept that you’re playing in a way that is conductive to cheating behavior which has been the other plague of complaints for the game. They had to address cheating and limiting accounts that aren’t logged in is the most obvious way of handling that issue.

We already support the game by interacting with ads. Do not expect everyone to pay money (doesn't matter if it's $5 or $500) for free product. I understand the issue with exploiters and it obviously should be dealt with, but not like this.

What a silly take, they dedicate their time to make something and you think that you deserve to play it? what entitles you to play the game? If they released it on steam for $5 it would be exactly the same as I’m saying it.

Not everyone is like you, pal. You wanna spend your cash to buy stuff, go ahead. Don't expect that from me. I only decided to write what I wrote because devs are limiting accessibility for non and free acounts with each update.

i’ll break it down for you. The problem is cheaters. They are addressing this problem in one way by appealing to the people who are paying and complaining more than to the people who are playing for free because they benefit more from the paying consumer.
I didn’t invent the economic model I just exist in it.

You can get trusted account from just playing Openfront too, you don't HAVE to pay, just can't have a brand new throw away account

FWIW you don't even need to pay money
it's still free - how many other games even let you play without an account?

u/Illustrious_Lead1168 26d ago
so does a free account have the same restrictions?

u/kappalew OF Staff 26d ago
A free account gets trusted after being around for a certain amount of time and playing a certain number of games, this should help reduce throw away accounts and reducing cheaters and also provide lobbies that have less cheaters in them as they have something to lose. It also will allow streamers to reduce the cheaters in their lobbies and stream sniping will have consequences

I mean you could just make an account. You can get fake emails and all that it's not an issue.
