New content on its way

I find the 'Winback' weekend for Star Trek Online very amusing. It's been out for less then 6 months, and they have already reduced the price of the game in half, and they are already having free re-play and trial time to play. I would think anyone who purchased a lifetime subscription would want to get a large portion of their money back.

Talked with my neighbor (Cryptic employee) and it appears that every company is going to be going with a pay-for-play model. They are planning on just giving their games for free but charging for content and add-ons. The model is working EXTREMELY WELL. It really surprised the hell out of them. Revenues for Star Trek exploded once they changed their revenue system.

I see that BF3 is looking at this already.



Rocks: I just tried out Star Trek Online, not too shabby. I'll be playing for the next few weeks.

Cryptic's next MMO with heavy FPS will be going to Friends&Family Alpha release soon. I'll let you know, but I have a feeling it's a Clash of the Titans type of game.
