In a recent interview with PC Gamer, Hi-Res Studio COO Todd Harris stated that since Global Agenda made the switch from subscription to free to play, their player base has not only increased by a factor of five, but their revenues “are higher than they ever have been before“.
When asked about whether he thinks more and more games will go the way of free to play, Harris stated, “I think more and more will…I do think it’s clearly the direction of gaming.”
Those are some pretty impressive numbers for a game that was on it’s way to an early grave. Also another endorsement for my P2P is Dead editorial from a few weeks back.
