[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 295952, member: 134"] I love how the mention of "new business models" has morphed into full blown "subscription" based gaming (something born out of fear mongering minutes after it was uttered). We already know Star Wars VR is going to sell for $25 (I think?), no mention of subscription. The business model that Zen has employed for the last 10 years is not going to suddenly change for Pinball FX. Purchasing tables outright is not going to change for PC and consoles. If Zen does upgrade mobile (and they seriously need to), it'll probably be much like Williams Pinball, utilizing the freemium model. The only place subscriptions might come into play is with Pinball Royale, and all you need look at is how Fortnite or Rocket League function to understand how that'll work. It's free to play, there are seasons, and if you don't want to grind for upgrades then you subscribe to season passes and get additional perks with those games. For pinball think in terms of what is available in the Williams app; custom ball trails, flipper skins, and ball skins. [/QUOTE]
