[2021] Would anyone play this if it didnt have VTM attached to it?

We do not sell anyones data. That has been made clear repeatedly. The game wasn't made for free either, I can promise you that. But it IS free to play with an optional store and paid battlepass. That is just one of several business models you can apply to a game. We chose it because it is fair and well suited for an online game with a focus on vanity and character customization.

Now feel free to discuss the connection to Vampire the Masquerade but stop making bogus claims of us selling user data.
