Bless Online officially launched, went free-to-play, left beta, and left early access all in one fell swoop yesterday, bringing to an end – or maybe just a middle – the Steam drama that gripped the MMO genre all summer. I’ve seen entirely mixed opinions on the launch, both in our comments and on Steam. On Steam Charts so far, it doesn’t look as if the game is approaching its May/June numbers, but it’s on track to top July as former players return and new players pick it up for free for the first time. Will that be enough to keep Neowiz developing the game? I don’t know.
Let’s put it to a poll:Â Are you giving Bless Online a second chance?
