The reader who goes by the symbols = # # = pointed out the news that Perpetual Entertainment, the company that cancelled Gods & Heroes to concentrate on Star Trek Online, liquidated its assets last month and is now under new ownership under the name Perpetual, LLC. A letter was distributed to the employees stating that STO would be redesigned to be "more casual", and could possibly be financed by microtransactions instead of monthly fees.
Well, lets hope that the new owners have deeper pockets. The chances for STO to become the mythical "WoW killer" and have millions of subscribers were always slim. So maybe going for a broader audience and not requiring a monthly fee is actually a good idea for this particular game. Just because many bad games have a free-to-play plus microtransactions business model doesn't mean that all games with that business model have to be bad.
