CCP on the death of subscription MMOs: “It’s simply not the case”

PCG:We’ve been talking to EVE Online senior producer, John Lander, about the decline in subscription-funded gaming. In the past year the free-to-play model has dominated the PC MMO market but, as John mentions in the video, CCP have never considered it a viable option for their massively multiplayer space opera.

I agree,both models of MMOs can exist on the market....

ATi_Elite4791d ago

If you have a Super quality game like Eve Online or WoW then by all means you can easily charge a subscription.

Subscription MMO's can only be done by dedicated Pubs/Devs who have decided that AAA+ quality and content will constantly be provided and are looking to create a Gaming Experience more than just a buck.

If your in it just to make a buck then Play4Free is your model.

But overall they both can Co-Exist! I like Subscript model on serious dedicated games cause for the most part it keeps the jerks, N0obs, and Morons out!

I agree but I am intrigued to try TERA. Didn't get into the BETA but from the videos it looks fun. Being able to actually control if u get hit or not seems enticing.

EVE: Vanguard isn’t “just another generic shooter in an EVE skin,” promises CCP Games

A brand new PvPvE shooter, EVE: Vanguard, looks to succeed where Dust 514 did not as a candid CCP Games reflects on its 20-year journey.

SlothLordPootus631d ago

Dust 514 was such a unique game back in the day. I only played probably 10 hours of it because the balancing was way off, but otherwise it was an interesting idea.

Inverno631d ago

Was a unique idea that was never realized, it didn't go beyond just being and playing like an outdated generic FPS. It never got better, and then they shut it down. If this follows the standard of your typical service style fps then it won't live long either.
