Worlds Adrift, the MMO with sky-high ambitions, will be pay-once-to-play

Worlds Adrift

Bossa Studios revealed Improbable technology, and at this point it looks very promising.

However, Bossa has apparently been struggling for awhile to settle on a business model for the game. In the end it's decided to go with the new and interesting "pay once and play" model, which allows gamers to "buy" a thing and then play as much as they want, without the need for further payments. Weird, eh?

Exactly what the price will be hasn't been determined, but the studio said it will be "competitive to the biggest survival games out there." There will be an in-game store for cosmetic and convenience items, but Bossa said nothing that will affect the balance of the game or "mess with the experience of other players" will be offered, nor will there be any "pay walls" blocking off content. For players who want to get a leg up on things, Founders Packs of various sorts will be offered, the contents of which will be determined based on from s.

Those survival games the studio mentioned would presumably include gameplay trailer from last month, I'm willing to be patient.
