Opinion: Concord Should Just Go Free-to-Play

While there aren't many other hero shooters like Concord out there besides Overwatch at the moment, it's a bit of a gamble to charge $40 for an online experience in this day and age where there are high-quality free-to-play titles like Fortnite and Apex Legends out in the wild that have loads of content for players to dive into. Some people think that Concord is being sent out to fail because gamers might not want to pay money upfront for a game that might be mediocre. Concord transitioning to a free-to-play model with a paid battle pass and microtransactions can help bring in more players on day one, potentially helping it succeed, even if the game ends up being just OK. I think Sony and Firewalk Studios are making a mistake in charging for this new IP. What do you all think?
