Rematch devs "never considered free-to-play," even if it risked being "dead on arrival," because "the best way to make a commercial success is to just make a very good game"

Rematch.

Rematch might be a competitive multiplayer game, but that doesn't mean it should have been free-to-play, according to its creative director, who says he "never considered" offering his football game up for free.

In an interview with PC Gamer, Pierre Tarno explains that "I never considered free-to-play" as a sales model for Rematch. That's in spite of potential player expectations, which Tarno acknowledged might revolve around the fact that Rematch is "an online game with a competitive edge [so] it should be free to play, otherwise it's dead on arrival."
