This video popped up on my YouTube feed today, and I found it incredibly interesting, as it’s a similar GaaS (to ESO) with an almost identical content delivery line. I wanted to share it with the community. We often criticize without understanding the complexities, timelines and choices that go on behind the scenes and this one video covers a breadth of issues from retention to content delivery to how to make your game playable forever. Check it out! And maybe take a breather before you go off on ZoS next time (I’m just as guilty of this on occasion, too).

      Path of Exile is a dungeon crawler. It has nowhere near the depth of lore or variety of quests you find in ESO or any Elder Scrolls game. You can change ESO to be a dungeon crawler, but you'll be making a *different* game. As for the competitive aspect, I'd love to see it here. But I dare you to try and set up any kind of competition with the kinds of exploits, cheats and flaky performance you can find in ESO.

      I mean, it’s certainly an an example of F2P done right. But what’s cool about the video is that they show all the failures, development trials and roadblocks along the way. I’m 100% sure ZoS has gone through similar growing pains.
