Find the game new business model


Alternative set models for MMOs are still to come, based on Guild Wars 2's worldwide brand name director Chris Lye.

Speaking to VideoGamer.com about whether or not free-to-play movie games will constantly demand microtransactions to offset the lack of subscriptions, Lye stated:

"This surely appears for being the principal option toward the subscription-based model – but even then there's a substantial variety in the sorts of items provided.

"I think you're likely to decide loads of fascinating experimentation in the location of microtransactions. By precisely the same token I've no doubt there are other set models for MMOs which have however to arise."

Guild Wars two follows in its predecessor's foot-steps by adopting a free-to-play model.

Recently SOE president John Smedley stated that free-to-play was "here to stay" after saying:

"I think it's an amazing development and people employed to associate free-to-play with low superior and they don't any more. They're starting to decide "hey! This certainly is a excellent set model".
