Shop Titans thoughts and guild creation.WoW Classic: Already feeling the reduced difficulty.So yeah, I’d say subs are probably even with F2Ps at this point. I guess what’s really annoying about all this is that the most recent sub game to launch, FFXIV, is doing its bit to dig SE out of the shitter. The two Cryptic games that were originally sub based are, I assume, still getting trickles of content here and there. Aion is probably doing what Aion does: enough people to make a Western port justifiable, primarily still powered by Eastern subs. Oh, and there’s that CubeWorld/Minecraft clone, which shouldn’t be taking up much in the way of financial resources (but if it is: lol). Trion’s update schedule (inb4 “cadence”) has been exceptionally lacklustre for Rift, Defiance is being as mediocre as it has been since laynch, ArcheAge is already too late and EoN is either back to the drawing board of mothballed.
SOE are closing ~half of their portfolio, selling EQNL access to whales to recoup some costs already (inb4 “this is a real alpha, I’m sure by buying into it I’m really going to affect the decision making by reposting SWG’s features because I’m a super special blog snowflake with great analytical skills”).
Turbine have layoffs, increasingly expensive expansions which also, handily, contain less and less content (and now without the manpower to pump one out each year). Funcom have one dev team for all their games. You say this, and yet WoW has increased its dev pool whilst the EVE dev team at the very least hasn’t been laid off (WoD and DUST 514 are another matter entirely, but CCP being incompetent outside of their space game isn’t the matter at hand) and may even have grown.ĭisregarding the fact that pure f2p MMOs have been shutting down for the last year or so, the trend for post-subscription MMOs is almost universally downward: You’re making a fallacious correlation between a business you personally dislike and the health of a company that operates it.” “Yeah, because no proprietor of a Subscription only game ever laid off any employee.
