Expand That's it. It has settled in, it's simply very serious case, and they wouldn't like to lose such income generating feature. That even gives them more than the games can offer.

Expand I feel like it's mostly for games that have been around a while. I think they do it because activity is dwindling, so they release it free to play. This will entice people to play again and will probably bring in new gamers who didn't want to pay the base price to get into it.

It's a very good business marketing strategy that would get some gamers to pick interest in the game all over again to play for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
