In app purchases, like mobile gamers are used to, will be a big part of both the PS4 and the Xbox 720, claims Epic’s Mark Rein, Vice President and Co-Founder of the company.


Sony briefly mentioned ways to monetise games at their New York summit, but it was glossed over and this is the first time a developer has stated that next-gen will see a big shift to the free-to-play model, supported by additional payments.


Speaking at the UK’s Game Horizon conference, Rein said that both Sony and Microsoft are “going heavily” down the route that some suspected they might, taking on the sort of financial models seen on iOS and Android.


“The next-gen consoles are going to be fully embracing the free-to-play and these in-app purchase type business models,” said Rein, “so in case you don’t know that I’m putting that out there. Sony and Microsoft are both going heavily in that area.”


“Well, I’m telling you,” he added succinctly, when challenged by a moderator over a lack of evidence. “I’m telling you what they’re telling developers.”

lol lol lol lol

they can do that all they want, i don't play free to play games. it doesn't matter to me how great the game is, my limit is 60-70 bucks on a game, and with those free games your actually paying well over 100+ on them.... no thanks ill pass, my utilities companies already nickle and dime me to death, i don't need my gaming time to do the same. if people like this idea and want to support it than that's cool, its just not for me.

I dont get it....
