Bulkhead’s Wardogs lists 10 reasons not to buy, sets Steam Early Access for Sept. 10

Developer Bulkhead announced Wardogs will launch in Steam Early Access on September 10 and posted a video explicitly listing 10 reasons players should not buy it. The studio says early access will cost $40 and will rise to $60 by the end of development, and warns of limited launch content, performance and monetization concerns, and a likely decline in player count. Wardogs is positioned as a hardcore, milsim-style shooter where deaths force long returns and equipment rebuys, a design choice Bulkhead says will punish run-and-gun play and shape the player base.

• Steam Early Access release date set for September 10.
• Early-access price is $40 at launch; price will increase during development to $60 at full release.
• Bulkhead published a video listing 10 explicit reasons not to buy, including lack of early-access content, expected player-count decline, monetization and performance/visual concerns, VOIP and controller support, shifting development priorities, and the studio’s past failure with Battalion: 1944.
• Wardogs’ hardcore milsim mechanics impose long returns to frontlines and require rebuying lost equipment, penalizing aggressive playstyles.
