《神秘世界》：游戏转变为免费模式可能另有隐情

上周的股东会上，funcom公司承认了《神秘世界》并没有如公司期待的那样。现在我们就来看看这条消息。

一些人说funcom公司mmo的试推是“failcom”这名字的复苏。许多人认为这可能对他们也有好处，因为这意味着这游戏很快会变成免费游戏，这样大家就可以免费玩了。一小部分人很希望游戏只是简单的免费来玩，因为《神秘世界》由“failcom”而来，如果那样叫的话会气死人的。

我知道写作时生气基本上写不好的，最后结果只会事与愿违，表达不了自己想表达的观点。与其生气，不如说这游戏掺杂了商业元素，而且免费玩并不是简单的一个转变。工作室想要更快速的游戏出货，比价器无疑是最快的途径。

Last week during a stockholder meeting, Funcom admitted that The Secret World had not lived up to all of the expectations that the company had hoped it would. In our latest Secret World column, we take a look at the shareholder meeting, the news that was disseminated and what it all means. Read on!

Some folks were saying that this was a resurgence of the “Failcom” monicker that Funcom acquired through their MMO practices. A number of people mentioned that this might be good for them, as it meant that the game would go undergo a free-to-play transition sooner and thus allow them to play without paying. A smaller subset of individuals was basically wishing it would go free-to-play simply because The Secret World came from “Failcom,” and that's exasperating to read.

I've learned that writing when angry rarely accomplishes anything of merit, and ultimately ends up being counterproductive to showing people what the actual point is. Instead of frothing at the mouth, therefore, let me say this to begin: the business of games is complex and a free-to-play transition isn't a simple flicking of a switch.
