Shadowbane Now Free As In Beer

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the you-want-some-ale dept.

Gamaustra reports on the decision by Shadowbane developer Wolfpack to make their PvP MMOG title free for the taking. From the article: "Despite the growing acceptance of [the no monthly fee] revenue model, it's not yet certain that it's the one Ubisoft has chosen for Shadowbane; the announcement makes no reference to any alternate form of revenue for the title. In-game advertising has also been an option for allowing free play in titles including Funcom's Anarchy Online, but Shadowbane's fantasy setting may preclude contemporary ads. The company indicated that a more detailed explanation of the free-to-play scheme will follow shortly."

  1. SB.EXE!! by RobXiii · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Does it still come with free SB.EXE crash errors? :P Nothing like playing for a few more minutes with an sb.exe error window up. Once you click it *then* it crashes for ya.
