Arbites Class paywall is double dipping

@BFCInsomnia

Didn’t FS say that new classes would be free?

No, never. I don’t know where people got this notion from.

Here, from before launch:

@Fatshark_Hedge

We haven’t fully decided if we will charge for new and upcoming classes, but that is an option we are discussing. This isn’t our way of trying to bait and switch anyone. Fatshark has always prided itself on being very player-centric. We want to stay true to that in our monetization practices. We never intend to split our player base - you can expect in-game content, such as new areas, game modes, and missions, to remain free. We’ve learned a lot, and we think we have done a good job in Vermintide with our monetization of cosmetics and careers, and we are looking to that and other areas of feedback before we make a final decision.

And they’ve stuck to that plan exactly.
