Badland Bandits Kicks The "Pay to Win"

In what is undoubtedly an interesting and confusing move, a mere two weeks after launch, the team behind the free-to-play vehicular combat game, Badland Bandits, have already removed anything and everything that could be considered pay-to-win. Gone are the premium vehicles, which were described as "not better, simply different." Gone is the premium currency entirely, actually, converted into in-game currency for everyone that had previously purchased any. All that is left to buy is skins, such as the the two shown below.

It will be interesting to see how this new business model fares, considering everything they are selling now falls under cosmetics. Moreover, it will be interesting to see if a community will form around the game now that it can be played entirely for free.
