Atlas Reactor var sat til at udkomme som et free-to-play-spil, men nu har Trion Worlds valgt at skifte retning. Udvikleren fandt nemlig frem til at hvis spillet udkom som free-to-play ville spilleren blive låst bag mikrotransaktioner og ødelægge oplevelsen.
Trion Worlds har udtalt:
"We've been figuring out how to best tune our Free to Play ('F2P') game to create a sustainable business," wrote producer Peter Ju in a letter posted on the Atlas Reactor site. "To make it viable, we would have had to do some things that run counter to your feedback, making the game less fun. Instead, we've decided to change the way we offer Atlas Reactor to you."
Atlas Reactor kommer til at koste 30 Euro, og spillet har endnu ikke en udgivelsesdato.
