> Warframe (a similar game which people have compared it to) is free to play with no $60 up front charge and also has peer to peer server netcode. Nearly all of in game content is locked behind you grinding for resources and waiting for it to be built. Every expansion is also free. Warframe probably has an LTV much higher than 60$ over a paying active user. I'm working on multiplayer architecture for a paid steam game right now - and it's pretty evident, that unlike free2play titles that can count on revenue that is proportional to active players, we cannot afford dedicated servers, because our players will only pay once (may be several times in the future for DLCs, but I wouldn't count on it) and then continue playing as long as they please.
