Business models

[edit]

MMORTSs today use a wide range of business models, from completely free of charge (no strings attached) or advertise funded to various kinds of payment plans. This list uses the following terms.

  • Free-to-play (F2P) means that there might be a cost to purchase the software but there is no subscription charge or added payments needed to access game content.
  • Pay-to-play means that players must pay, usually by monthly subscription, in order to play the game.
  • Freemium means that the majority of game content is available for free but players can pay for extra content or added perks.
  • Absolutely Free means that the game is completely free to play with no option to pay for any extra content or services whatsoever.
