GameZone writes, "Attending trade shows for the past two years has made it more apparent than ever that the F2P model is not only here to stay, but that it will offer triple A experiences, without the need to pay a single dollar every month. Let's take a look at some of the heavy hitters that are sure to make it on your radar."
Planetside 2’s future is uncertain as the IP was sold for a relatively low sum to a company with no history.
Was such a cool concept back in the day - shame that it never really took off like it probably could have with more support
"Cryptic Studios and Gearbox Publishing are today very happy and excited to announce that "Neverwinter: Menzoberranzan" (Neverwinter’s 25th module) is now available for PC (via Steam), Xbox (via the Microsoft, and Playstation via digital stores (as announced at Wizards of the Coast’s Dungeons & Dragons Direct 2023 showcase)." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
It's for that online game, correct? I always wanted to see the drows home from Drizzt's books, I've read those years ago, but I never could fully imagine it from text alone. Looks a bit bright compared to what I remember how it was described, but I'm guessing that's for gameplay reasons.

Not the biggest fan of the freemium games i played myself because paying just gave too much of a advantage. Im fine with cosmetic stuff you have too pay for but not like weapons,armor exp bonuses etc. Few i played myself.
-APB:reloaded the cash weapons were just alot better then the normal 1's and premium membership gave you twice the money and exp.
-Atlantica online without certain cash shop items you couldnt quick travel and it took ages to go from town to town without it the max was like 15-20minutes
- dc online before it went free i played that game alot got all the good raiding gear. Went back when it was f2p and the ammount of cash i could hold wasnt even enough for the repair bill.
Think the best way of doing freemium so far is Path of exile and guild wars 2.
I'm not a fan either and they do feel like pay to win at times. Long live single player games! I like me some multiplayer but story mode is the heart of the game. A lot of people are buying games and never even playing the story mode they go straight online and stay there. Which is cool but I hope that is not the future of gaming.
From my experience most things are pay to win and that is a very bad thing.
I disagree, just more communist propaganda, free to play is just Pure Indoctrination, what the Industry wants is for all gamers to HAVE TO Play there games ONLiNE , No physical Disc, The Corporations who run the Industry are just a bunch of lying CoNtrol FrEAKAziods.
THe Industry is run by GReedy Types, they water down most gaming experiences this Gen, alot of games are just copy cat games, Hitler once said "If you tell a lie loud enough & Often enough, the people will believe it, thats essentially what these propagandist gaming journalist are attempting to do, SHOVE their LIES down the throats of the gaming consumers.
