Old Republic pricing will depend on MMO "standard," says BioWare
Star Wars: The Old Republic's business model will depend on what's considered to be the norm on other MMOs, BioWare's told VG247, likely meaning the game will carry a subs model in the West.
"The way we look at these things is, 'What's the standard at the time?' Obviously we're not quite done yet. We've got a lot of work left to do. But we'll be very conscious of how the market looks," company head Greg Zeschuk said, speaking at GDC.
Both Zeschuk and BioWare co-founder Ray Muzyka were at pains to stress the game's business model has yet to be announced.
EA has previously said that the MMO, which as yet has no released date, will be a worldwide affair.
