wheres the income to the company is the game is ftp... a PTP model is something steady so investors will still invest in the company... and to keep paying a subscription gives a chance for S-E to push content out faster because they can have a profit to pay their workers and do a little bit extra... OH SURE GUILDWARS 2 HUR DUR... yeh it was an over hyped peice of garbage but millions of people bought the damn thing... arenanet was set on overhyped box sells... and then they make their money on the cash shop... -face palm- Its why I stay away from FTP games...
