Game Models

Source

There are many types of game models with the most obvious being three different kinds of models. F2P (Free to Play), subscription and one-time purchase. The chart above shows that in 2010, F2P revenue severely outgrew and still went above the subscription revenue. Things like one-time purchases are going away slowly as time goes on and developers are starting to see how F2P is the future of the video game industries.
