I just got tweeted this article(s) and I thought I would share it. I do not know what to think. In a way I am glad I am playing on xbox so I can hear what is going on from the pc players. Sorry if this is wrong to give the links. I do not usually say hardly much on this thread, but I read it all the time. Now I am having second thoughts about playing, and it is not due to any monthly fees.

Already a thread with some discussion on this, but I guess it's locked.

Honestly, the instant he alluded to SWTOR and it failing because of its payment model, I took everything after that as invalid.

The second one is a hoax. The final paragraph should tell you that.

The first one isn't an official Forbes atrticle either, it's just a blog written by someone with a hating for the Subscription plan and hosted on the site.

Neither should be given that much weight.

The Forbes article is known and was a heated discussion in the last day or so.

There was also a heated discussion on an article like the second one as well.

I never pay attention to journalists especially game journalists.

Well, none of the ones behind the articles appear to legit journolists anyways.

Thanks guys. I have been gone for the holidays and have some catching up "reading" to do.

Yeh there was a heated thread discussing this, coming from a website which had people claim Swtor would reach 50 million subscribers, well, you know the rest.

There seems to be a lot of people with an agenda against this game, that article writer one of them, it's a shame to see, just because ZOS are doing things their own way, it's going to be a total disaster. Yeh of course.
