Dropping the first bit of proper news on Steam since early 2024 after the release of Battlefield 6 is certainly a choice - BattleBit Remastered is still alive.
I know you mentioned this game to me in this community in the last couple of days, and now this update came along and surprised us all. Would you mind confirming if a dedicated server can be spun up for local play only, with no internet? And if so, does the game have bots to fill out a private server?
You can host a dedicated server (there are guides for how, because it’s entirely from the command line I believe), and it does have LAN support, but I have never used it myself.
I don’t think it has bots, but I’m not actually 100% sure.
The good news is that the game isn’t P2W, so you can play it now! The bad news is that you might be an idiot. I’m sorry you had to find out this way.
Seriously, you’re spreading misinformation about a game you know nothing about. Based entirely on some random group’s subjective and baseless opinion on what might happen to this game in the future. It would be difficult to get any more dishonest than that. It’s sad.
How is it pay 2 win? There arent even micro transactions.

It seems that Steam group doesn’t know wtf it’s talking about. It’s got no MTX, no plans for MTX, and is not even a GaaS/Live Service game.

That’s not what live service or Games As A Service means.
It’s about continued, PAID FOR content being added to the game on a predetermined schedule, where old content is phased out and no longer obtainable.
Often with two tiers of unlockables; one for regular/free players, and the other for premium/battlepass owners.

Again, no…
A dark pattern is when the UI tricks you into doing shit you didn’t want. Like signing up for Prime on Amazon when you didn’t want it.
…
What? Battlebit isn’t even a Games as a Service game. It is just a video game. Or is the existence of free skins from twitch drops enough for that?
And it is “pay to win” because “it might become pay to win at some point”?
Buddy… find better influencers. Because whatever “group” that is… is pretty fucking stupid.
The above poster is likely to become a racist terrorist, given their history of comments getting downvoted.

I have good news and bad news!

And none of that makes it P2W, which is the original claim that I was commenting on. I’m not interested in defending this game whatsoever beyond that.
I suggest you look at someone else for reviews because this review is both inaccurate and somehow also blindingly stupid.
