Cliff Bleszinski's Lawbreakers Is No Longer Free-To-Play

From my read of the situation, quite a few people were turned off by Lawbreakers when it was announced that the arena shooter was going to be Free-to-Play. It's worked for games like Team Fortress 2 and Dota 2, but it became apparent to me that people wanted something a little more substantial in a purchase.

Well, that has come to pass, as developer on the game Boss Key Studios have announced that the title is no longer adopting the free model. In a press release, developerCliff Bleszinski said:

As the game continued to take shape, we realized free-to-play wasn't the right fit for what we're building. LawBreakers is a competitive game at heart and that means balance is a big priority to me, my team, and our community. Using a digital premium model helps ensure an even playing field by giving fans access to every available role without any barriers.

It is noted that the game probably won't be a fully priced $60 game, but will exist somewhere in the middle with other pay options available. Until we know specifics, it's hard to know what to think of this move, but I will watch reaction to this with great interest.
Oh, and for your travels, here are some new screenshots:
