Either this is a desperate attempt or the gaming community seriously helped made Evolve the new DOTA.

You did this, gamer community. Thanks to you, the threat of the precedent that free-to-plays will be a thing of the past exists. Let's beg companies to let us pay $60 for League of Legends/Killer Instinct while we're at it and get a handful of characters but still have to pay for the rest of the roster.
Having bought the game at a very, very low price, I can say without buyer remorse that I'm enjoying Evolve and loving the gameplay but would it have been worth the $60? Definitely not. While it's fun playing the badass monster and the hunts as team human can be exhilarating, not really enough content to justify its current price.
My advice: wait for a BIG price drop. Until then, go to your shelf and dust off your old Left 4 Dead copy and it's a better game anyway.
The community for the Xbox 360 version still thrives believe it or not.
Before the updates, this game was okay. Now it's a piece of unbalanced shit with barely a community (I keep running into the same people every day for god sakes) keeping it going.
I've dealt with so much bullshit from other multiplayer games but Evolve has reduced me to a cackling lunatic. So many updates left and right. Nerfs, buffs, lobby loadouts altering each month. These developers don't know what the **** they're doing.
