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.
Does it have an offline single-player or offline anything? If it doesn’t, that’s live service, that’s not a game… it’d instead be a subscription-based shooter movie that you just so happened to be the protagonist of.
That’s called a dark pattern, which I don’t fall for all that often. I’d just take the F2P route, and I wouldn’t care if I missed out on something where I’d shell out real money for it.
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.
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.
