Originally planned to be free-to-play, the upcoming co-op house-builder and designer sim Hometopia will now cost $19.99 during the Early Access period beginning Sept 27th.

In apology, a 15% launch discount was announced alongside the above.

Thought a discussion on this might be interesting. Unity may be signing their death but the decisions will have an impact on lots of studios and games in the meantime.

Not really sure what to do with this particular one myself. I've been really looking forward to Hometopia but this is a difficult pill to swallow for a game that proudly stated it would "always be free-to-play".
