The Weekly Raid: F2P, B2P, Or P2P: What Is Your Preferred MMO Business Model?

Around 10 years ago, a slew of Asian MMOs & Tera, and so on.

Traditional subscription MMORPGs didn't go away, but few new MMORPG releases opted for the subscription-only model following the F2P tsunami. The Elder Scrolls Online.

Now that we've had many years to experience all three of these business models, which do you feel works best for MMOs and MMORPGs? Which do you personally prefer, and which do you think will still be around in the future? Will we see a variety of F2P, B2P, and subscription games coming out in the years ahead, or has the tide turned against one or more of these business models?

Lifelong gamer always looking for the next virtual adventure. I'm still waiting for the next big MMORPG. Until then, you can find me hopping between multiple games.
