Do you think Bungie will ever release a free-to-play game much like the popular, League of Legends or Team Fortress 2?

With the news of the next Monday Night Combat game following the free-to-play platform, I can't help but wonder if anymore developers are willing to follow this "trend".

I mean I see the appeal as a free premium game draws people in, and wanting more, people are willing to spend money on it, even though they have the option to opt out.


I know someone who spent over 100 bucks on League of Legends while I on the other hand, have spent nothing.

Just wanted to know your thoughts on the subject.

Destiny is going to be on the 360... therefore its not Free-To-Play...

I think signatures are stupid....Oh wait...

I would like it, but most of the free to play games you had to wait to become free to play.

Yes, I AM just that awesome.

Marathon.

Or do you mean a game that, from launch, is free to play?

They could have a free-to-play 360 game if they wanted. I doubt it's going to be, though.

Their fan base is based on the 360. To differ would mean social relations suicide.

They couldn't get a free to play game on the 360 "if they wanted to".

It's pretty much a given what with the PS3 recruitment as well. Destiny is going to be multiplatform - that much is almost guaranteed. Of course, I'll eat my words after printing them on sandpaper if it's not multi-platform. It's informed speculation.

Technically all LIVE games are Free-to-Play, but you must pay to use the LIVE service. Sort of like paying for your internet... again. No LIVE game will be truely FTP unless you can allow silver accounts to join in the fun.

That would be great, but then they wouldn't be able to message people. It's a lame move by MS, but hey, it's their choice.
