Free-to-play?

[Berethos]

if Yoshi say this in a interview they already are considering it, they are talking about it!.

Of course they've considered it - they are a business, after all, and a good business will consider more than one path.

Which is, quite obviously, how they reached the conclusion that enough (the 80%+) of their playerbase would have to want it for them to make the switch, and otherwise they don't plan on doing it.

Honestly, it's "interesting" points like the one LBR made that are half responsible for these crap rumors spreading in the first place.
