Cash shops make me run away very, very fast. I enjoyed reading some of Syncaine's blog posts when a number of games were embracing the F2P model. Here's one:

Well, I can understand it. I know my style is out of fashion too. I don't even own a portable. I don't text. I don't play Skyrim or WoW or the newest games. I just hope people can find the right game for them evne if it's old fashioned.

Is there a way to please everybody so that nobody has bad feelings? Keep in mind I long played Eq even though I had bad feelings. So maybe it's not game breaking. However, I'm not playing it anymore. In fact, I'm playing a fairly hardcore game right now named Wurm Online. But even in that game players can purchase silver and silver can purchase most everything in the game; including labor. However, players still have to work and organize things. The game doesn't overly favor rich players. I'm sure with time it could. If the rich players start to become too common then the developers will want their money.... A good example of a game that became too expensive is Entropia Universe.

The idea is to make a game that works for every person, rich and poor, all walks of life. Why? Money. You want their money. A game that works for the most people will get you the most money. The irony is of course that 80% or more of the money is in the top 20% of income earners. In fact, 1% of income earners constitute about 30% of total net worth. So if games start to tap into the top income earners, it's a given that they'll favor them. The trick will be not losing the poor players.

Perhaps buying an inferior stat version for considerable cash could be considered for those that want it. If any MMORPG launched with the "no cash shop" promoted and just a $5-10/month sub, I think it would draw a considerable fan base. Pissed off not just with online PC gaming but companies like Capcom (SFxTekken - not all characters released despite being on the disc) and EA (see that Sim City shit go down?, and BF3's ridiculous cash grab on things like custom servers where players can ruin your fun or make you switch teams). | |||
