Hey, I work at creability (small team) and we're still early in development for our standalone pc game. The game is a 1st person puzzle adventure that's powered by unity4 and hopefully will be on steam greenlight.

Now the pros of a free game:
- it will be played by many

Cons:
- its freaking free, no salary and we were depending on revenue lol

I understand that freemium is a way to go although I can't see it working on a single player game. I'd have to reinvent the structure of the game if so and frankly, I'd hate it if I had to pay for a game prop or something in a single player game.

If you've got more to tell please do, I need some major advice and help on figuring out if "free" is a better solution for this game or the team's downfall..haha.

Totally a business decision you need to make.

You might release it for free in order to build a brand and get a following. It will help when you put out your next game. You do have a plan for more than one game, don't you?

Also you might release it for free now, and once you've got some customers put in ads or other revenue-generating features. Start free, become freemium once it is worth while.

Or do something else entirely. It is your business. It is your choice.

I think I got an idea of what to do now, awesome! Thanks frob!
