Good day guys,

Not trying to break any rules so I will not give self promotion details. Serious question - We are developing a Fitness based VR game. A proper one with real goal setting mechanics, huge gamification, the whole 9 yards. I would like to know whether you prefer to buy a game outright or rather have a F2P with in-game purchase and/or monthly subscription.

Side note: I see most games in this genre go for about $25-$30, so we would be the same it we go that route, otherwise I was thinking F2P with a $10/month sub for additional content.

If I am breaking any rules here, I apologize, I am trying to stay within the rules by purely asking the question. For me to ensure I build something the community really wants, I need to first know what they want.

Thank you all in advance for any feedback.

Doepie308: Yes... its been months of researching, planning and reviewing. Its been something I have wanted to do for years but its only with the release of Quest 3 that I felt the hardware its a place where it becomes a viable idea.

Beat Saber is awesome, but still very much a game. My mission is to get people to become physically more active but in a healthy way where an emphasis of fitness becomes a norm. The availability of proper developed workouts to get you into a healthy state physically, should be freely available to everyone, but there are costs to cover in terms of development and hosting etc. So I am trying to find the best middle ground
