EA Possibly Looking at Subscription Model for Future Shooters
 

SOURCE EA Possibly Looking at Subscription Model for Future Shooters - AusGamers.com



Thoughts?

Omg, really?

I refuse to continually pay for a game (it is one of the reasons I don't play MMORG's). I especially will not do so for any EA game!

Yeah, saw some recent articles naming the Battlefield series possibly being subscription based. Would certainly lose me as a customer if that were to happen.

they've toe dipped with BF play4free.

Activision has started their premium content subs for COD on consoles (but not PC)

Its only a matter of time. I dare say we will become used to this and complain but ultimately be left with no choice...much like we are in accepting unfinished products at release date.;)

After the epic fail of BF3, I think EA really need to sit down and work on games that are actually good.

Finish working on games until all the bugs are out would be nice
There would be ppl out there that would pay subscriptions I'm sure but our gaming household wouldn't :?

If SWTOR is anything to go by I don't think I will participate. While the game is good I don't believe it is good enough to pay $80-90 for and then ongoing subscriptions. Perhaps if the client were free ala Eve and then subscriptions to play I'd consider it.

A decent FPS MMO would be something else entirely.

Not sure how epic the failure was - it's still receiving awards and there's plenty of full servers and comps running as we speak. Granted, I wish they had chosen a different method for hit detection, though.

Wasn't there just a free weekend? Decided not to install it just incase I liked it. Agreed, asking $90 for the game then an ongoing subscription is too rich for me.
