From Rokkitball Developer Justin DuJardin:
"Starting with the next release, we will be debuting our new monetization strategy for Rokkitball. This is a good deal for everyone involved, and we've worked hard to make sure of it. Please read and understand all the information here before jumping to conclusions.
Users will be able to play Rokkitball for FREE every day, on ANY of the 4 maps, not just Gauntlet. The catch is that a user will only be able to play a certain number of games per day if they play for free.
If users wish to play more than is allowed for free, they may purchase a rental that allows them to play unlimited number of games per day, called an ActionPass.
FreePlays :
Every 24 hours,
Rokkitball users are granted (n) FreePlays (likely 3-4/day), that allow
them to play (n) games of Rokkitball free of charge, on ANY map. This
is the FREE aspect of the game.
* Players are given a certain number of games on ALL MAPS per day
* This number will be tweaked to amount to slightly less than 1 hour per-day
* FreePlays cost you nothing and are refilled every 24 hours
* FreePlay users may play against ActionPass users
ActionPass :
Users
may rent a pass to play unlimited numbers of games for the period of
that pass. This is called an ActionPass and is treated as a rental of
the game.
* 1 Day ActionPass = 75 ActionTokens (no USD equivalent)
* 1 Month Rental = $3.99 USD (includes an 80 ActionToken "bonus" when purchased)
* 12 Month Rental = $11.99 USD (includes an 240 ActionToken "bonus" when purchased)
* Players are given unlimited numbers of games on ALL MAPS per day
* ActionPass users may play against FreePlay users
But I've already purchased content, what about me?
The devil is in the details, and oh man what details we have for you. In order to remain in equity with users that have already purchased content and supported RB, anyone who has purchased ANY content for RB prior to this release, will be granted a Lifetime rental of the game. That is they will be granted a rental that does not expire as long as the game remains available on the site. Once this goes live though, this grandfather clause will go away, so go purchase your content today!
Additional Content
* Any content that does not affect someone's ability to play the game is considered Additional content
* All Additional Content is purchased, not rented. Once you purchase it you can use it with FreePlays or ActionPass
* Heads
* Jersey Patterns
* Team Color Packs
I've missed information here undoubtedly, so instead of jumping to conclusions, please ask questions about this that you would like answered [in the forums]. "
