After taking the risky decision to turn paid-for MMO DC Universe Online into a free-to-play game at the beginning of the month, many wondered if the strategy would breathe new life into the ailing game, or simply mean the loss of the remaining revenue from subscribers. Well, if the latest figures are anything to go by, it looks like the move has been very successful. - PSLS

WTMG's Thomas Medina: "As far as I’m concerned, console MMOs have always been in a weird place. PC is where the main game is most popular. MMOs were born there, work best there, and have the vast majority of titles. Mobile is then next in line, with touchscreens and portability that adds something new while functioning well. Console gaming, on the other hand, is not portable (for the most part). Plus, it uses a controller, which is not the best instrument when your control scheme requires a thousand buttons and a cursor. That being said, there is an audience, and where there’s money to be made, publishers find a way. So here we are with some of the biggest console MMO games and how I feel they handled 2021. "
From Xfire: "A lot of video games are designed to make players feel like a superhero. However, very few actually feature superheroes or have players take on the role of a superhero. What makes this even worse is that there are even fewer superhero video games that can be considered good."
That's a lot, and I'm sure it'd be higher if people could download it on PS3 - their servers are so overwhelmed atm, it's hard.
Lownloaded it but no time to play it right now.
The real test is how many people stick around and start actively buying stuff, but off to a good start as a F2P game.
Can anybody explain how this MMO's model will work as F2P? What is paid for, what isn't etc. How does it work?
Yeah its alot of new players.But for some reason tha people that had this game since tha beginning are bitching way too much.If it was for this F2P strategy DCUO probably wouldnt have lasted much longer.
Hopefully tha vets stop fucking complaining and just start kicking all tha low level asses.
Villian Young L see you in tha Universe....
