Pico Park: Classic Edition, a popular co-op action puzzle game, is now permanently free to play after its developer accidentally turned off monetization. "I was planning to switch to a paid plan after updating the online support, but I forgot that once you switch from paid to free, [you] can never go back to paid!" Tecopark’s Shunsuke Miyake wrote in a note on Steam. Over the summer, Tecopark announced that it was updating Pico Park: Classic Edition for the first time in nine years, adding online support, upgraded visuals, and other features. And it made the game free-to-play as these upgrades rolled out. "The free period for 'PICO PARK: Classic Edition' will end by September 19th, Japan time!" Tecopark tweeted on Sept. 18. By Oct. 5, however, Miyake came back to say the Classic Edition would be "permanently free" since Steam only lets you switch a free game to paid once. #steam #picopark #gaming #technology #technews #pcgaming Learn more at PCMag 📸: Tecopark
