Boss Key founder, Cliff Bleszinski, and his team announced the news during a panel at the Game Developers Conference. According Bleszinski, the F2P model didn’t “fit” with the game any longer.
“As the game continued to take shape, we realised free-to-play wasn’t the right fit for what we’re building,” explained Bleszinski. “LawBreakers is a competitive game at heart and that means balance is a big priority to me, my team, and our community. Using a digital premium model helps ensure an even playing field by giving fans access to every available role without any barriers.”

As can be seen, Boss Key Productions recommends quite the amount of memory – 16GB. In general, modern titles would only require around 8GB of Ram, and we wonder why this hefty amount would be required.
