I got the impression that GTO gave up on paid memberships to increase user uptake to pursue advertising dollars. I don't know a lot about their operations, but didn't they have very restricted free accounts? I can see where that'd seriously hamper user adoption.
- mattchew 18y agoYes, that is essentially what GTO's email said. I was reading between the lines that subscriptions were also a lost cause. GTO did have crippled free memberships, and the limitations were annoying. However, you got a free trial that was unrestricted, and at one point they offered me what was basically a free membership if I would just play games for a minimum # of hours per month. It sounds like they are desperate for a critical mass of players that they aren't getting.
