Would you still have an issue with excessive VC based modes if 2K was free?
The Fornite phenomenon has introduced a whole new error of videogame payment models. NBA 2K has benefitted from getting dual income sources for years now. As newer gamers download more free games instead of purchasing them, how would we feel about VC if 2K was free?
There are a few arguments for this model. First, it would provide access for millions more to play 2K. 2K comes out in a quarter that competes with other blockbuster titles. There is a finite amount of money people will spend on video games. Video games sales recently has been a little flat. Being free would allow many more millions of fans to download the title and play.
Secondly, 2K can then provide episodic content on a fairly regular basis rather than having a game come out yearly with a dozen patches.
Not sure what I think about this, but this is the direction that the videogame industry is going. Should 2K/Take Two get on board? What are your thoughts?
