The King of MMOs World of Warcraft and the Legendary E-Sports strategy game Starcraft 2 have opened their doors to anyone who's willing to come in and gone free to play over the past month which really makes me wonder what will be the future of blizzard games and will they all go free to play or is this just another of their marketing strategies?
To keep answers short; yes! I think this is a marketing strategy and a step in the right direction for blizzard because F2P games have proven to be more profitable than many P2P game out there which may seem unlikely to many but its how it is and has been. The P2P market is decreasing slowly and blizzard has realized this and also they have realized that they can get more people to try and play the game this way thus giving them more potential customers so it's a WIN/WIN situation for them to create a P2P/F2P hybrid system instead of the limited trials that they had before.
