Dark and Darker dev allows free-to-play players to use higher gear loot following backlash

After Dark and Darker made its grand return to traditional platforms, including Steam, it was met with a negative response stemming from its “misleading” free-to-play label. Free players were offered a severely limited experience, but now developer Ironmace has come out with a massive change.

Those who wish to try Dark and Darker out before purchasing will be given a much broader experience as they can now equip high-tier items previously limited to Common rarity at the most. With this change introduced in a hotfix today on June 10, players with a free-to-play account can equip and carry gear up to Legendary level. Even when geared up, though, they will still be limited to the Normal mode and have a matchmaking system of their own to disincentivize cheaters taking advantage of the free-to-play model.
