What is Price model?

In short

How payment works for a flagship game, whether it is a subscription, a free-to-play title or a one-off purchase.

A price model describes how a flagship game is paid for: a recurring subscription, a free-to-play title that earns through purchases, or a one-time purchase. The model decides the running cost rather than the entry price, since a free-to-play game still asks for money in its store. Read the model's terms to see what a subscription renews and what free-to-play limits.
