MMOs: Rise of the Free to Play, Demise of the Subscriptions

4Player-"The MMO Market is nearing completion of a metamorphoses of sorts; a shift that will force the genre to fully embrace the free to play model. As our own Joseph Christ pointed out in an earlier article, Star Wars: The Old Republic will be going free to play after recently dipping to around 800,000 subscribers. It could be said that Bioware and EA merely stumbled in the production of their MMO, but the real cause may just lie within the market itself and its playerbase." (Activision Blizzard Inc., EA, PC, Star Wars:The Old Republic, World of Warcraft)
