or season pass, that have been working really well.Originally Posted by Swag
Well that's good. I never did like F2P and P2P is too expensive.
Planetside kinda make you buy the stuff with real money. You dont have pay but it's so much easier that way
Welcome to free to play games? It's the same with every one, they have to make money. Companies do not run on rainbows and good will.
Well that is true but good example is LoL you can get everything except skins with a bit effort. but Planetside is rly rly hard. like make 1000 cert points.
I don't see the big deal with any model, they all have their positives and negatives. I'd like to see more Buy to Play models out there but with a game like Defiance being linked with a TV show I sort of think the Subscription model might work out better... still people tend to drift a lot with TV shows and games so they may have gone B2P for good reason. We'll just have to wait and see how the game plays I think.
I'll give it a year. Rift went F2P so they're gonna cash this up for the meantime. This isn't a game style that's meant to have a Box Retail version. This is a subscription quality game but the box copies validates solid income for people who do buy it.
Like I said, I'll give it a year until it goes F2P.
If they went with the buy to play method, purchasable dlc... or opt for subscription fee, to receive the dlc at no additional cost. Considering they are also launching for consoles as well, i'd highly take the route of buy to play, now if this game was strictly on PC. i'd agree with only subscription base model.
But back to the buy to play route coupled with Xbox/Ps3 they'd have a huge market to gain since they'd offer a new take on something similar as borderlands... of course its not the same game, but in general people who love borderlands will give this game a shot, which would add a even more publicity for the tv show another ?? i'd say 10-15% more viewers outa somthing like 5 million copies sold of borderlands, new viewers interested from the game wouldn't hurt.
I mean lets face it... sure in the buy to pay model maybe some people wont buy all the dlc, but you'd still grab the 60$ just buying it.... lets say 20-30$ a dlc pack if trion launched lets say 3 dlc packs out a year... im sure that one guy who wouldnt even picked up the game if he knew it was a subscription game would probably buy.. 1 or probably 2 out of the 3 dlcs. but then again what do i know?
Buy to play is great. Means I won't have to worry about trying to juggle two subscriptions between Trion's MMOs since I play RIFT. :P And it's perfect for Console gamers. Guessing there will also be a cash shop within the game, which makes sense since they need to retain a flow of revenue/income (especially if Trion intends on updating the game as frequently as RIFT!). Hopefully if there are any weapons/gear in the shop they'll only be cosmetic though, assuming gear in this game will have stats.
Soooo looking forward to this game @_@
