The hype machine has started rolling for Crazy Justice once again, especially now they've announced what's going to happen.

We're excited, because this will be a proper Battle Royale game with Linux support. However, they've now announced that the two Battle Royale modes (Battle Royale and Skill Royale) will be free to play, with the other multiplayer modes and the co-op/story mode will be a normal purchase.

For people who've supported them early, they will be given a special reward for the free modes as detailed below:

All-time Battle Pass access with all-time +50% XP Boost, two amazing and exclusive backer graffities moreover we triple your in-game coins based on the value of your bundle (CrazyCoins can be used to buy costumes, emotes, accessories, graffities, new drones, drone skins, vehicle skins etc...). 

They confirmed to us that includes pre-orders, not just those who backed on Fig.

I'm actually happy they've decided this, because I was honestly worried about how few players they would have as they have a pretty big mountain to climb (especially after repeated silence and missing their own release schedules). Given all the other similar games, they have some serious competition.

Wishlist and follow on Steam. It should finally release this month! Specifically, the store page text actually says "this week". Although, to keep expectations in check they have missed every target they've set so far…let's hope they finally hit it.

Erm... can you people explained to me in simple English? Paid or Free-to-play? Confusing...
Not sure what's difficult to understand.

Battle royale is free to play, you pay for the rest.

... like there's a free-to-play Battle Royale game with other content/game modes as paid DLC.

I am pleased to say that I was wrong: Crazy Justice did launch their BR game on Linux before the Battle Royale craze fell out of favor. Good on them.

Simple english. The 100 person multiplayer part of the game is available to everyone for nothing. You can spend money for a battle pass and cosmetic items if you want to, for that game mode.

Then there is the rest of the game, more single player and co-op content. Which if you want to play you need to purchase the "game".

Going to give it a go, may as well the Battle royal is free.

Understood. BR is free... Mission + cosmetic + battle pass needs to pay. Thank you all.

It won't, like Fortnite and many games with Sony platform.
It will be PC (Linux, macOS and Windows), Xbox One, Switch and Mobile (when or if it really come to) OR PC (Linux, macOS and Windows), PlayStation 4 and Mobile (when or if it really come to).

So either Xbox or PS. I see a PS4 controller in the video so I assume PC + PS4 + mobile then. Alright, sure, I can live with that. It's still a whole lot of additional players and bodes well for this whole longevity of the game. I don't think I'll miss Xbone players. :)

What about Switch players ? :'(

Joke aside, it's a pity that Sony use his position to block a real cross-online multiplayer.
When you have family/friends that have PS4 or One and a game is available with cross-online play.. can't play with all but you can play with both. Really a shame. "For the Players", what a sick joke..

That's why i despise consoles.
They're nothing more than under powered, non-upgradeable gaming PCs that lock out intellectual properties (exclusives) and restrict cross-play(with exceptions).
I got the point of them when you could just put in a game and play , game was tested enough and you didn't really need to install it or tweak/configure it. Now you need to download updates and bugs are more ubiquitous on all platforms since everyone is online and devs can just "patch it later" /cynicism over

Yeah that is unfortunate, the platform competition is fierce and not very user friendly. It's worth noting that Microsoft did the same towards Sony though, back when they were on top (the PS3/x360 era). Back then Sony were the underdog, now it's Microsoft.

I disagree with this - that's not ALL it is. The by far biggest advantage with consoles, is that the software by and large is written specifically for that platform - and that platform is the exact same on all machines so the optimising for that specific hardware can be maximised. That leads to ultra smooth experiences across the board that simply put we hardly ever experience on PC, even on hardware three times the cost of a console. Yeah it's more "PC in a console" now than before, true, but the differences are still significant. So even if they are less powerful on paper, the software makes far, faaaar better use of the power there is. The "add more hardware to the problem" attitude in the PC world is quite frankly a disgrace.

So I am a defender of consoles, albeit now being a PC gamer I was a console gamer myself in the PS3 era, and they do indeed serve a purpose and I cal totally understand those who chose to be so.
And some of the exclusives are simply astonishing in their polish and sheer production value. Let's just admit that too. Yeah yeah hate exclusives, etc. But as a gamer, some of them are simply marvellous to experience.

As far as I remember, Microsoft give an excused that PS3 was system than X360 so cross platforms were hard/impossible, plus MS accused PS Network was unsafe/unsecure. "Coincidencely" PSN was being hacked and credit card was stolen.

Everything changed after E3 2013.....
