i dont get why people are outraged over this kind of business model. In my oppinion f2p with payed cosmetics is the best business model that is realistically possible for multiplayer games. Those who don't mind spending some money can look cool and those who do mind can still play the game. And the players who spend money still benefit from f2p because no entry cost means more players so better matchmaking and a more alive game/community.<br>Obviously the game can't be free with no options to pay because of development costs.,(reply>), Not to mention the old AAA retail model seems increasingly unsustainable.<br><br>It is something that the former head of PlayStation Studios (Shawn Layden) has talked about a number of times.<br><br>Hate to say it, but the F2P model seems to be a better fit for how Western society is moving towards socio-economically.
