More than a million users have signed up to drive around in massively multiplayer online racer Need for Speed World, and EA shows its appreciation by removing level restrictions for non-paying customers, making all current and future content free-to-play.
Of course EA won't say why, but my guess would be that they make enough on the microtransactions for power ups. There has got to be a TON of people who will just walk @ lvl 10 rather than paying $20.
WOO!
ReplyDeleteTHEIR PLAYER COUNT MUST HAVE BEEN DROPPING TO RESORT TO THIS. OR TOO FEW WERE BUYING. PERHAPS THEY JUST WANT TO BE MORE LIKE A FACEBOOK GAME.
