APB close! Wow this is probably the fastest shut down of an mmo, only 4 months. I am not completely surprised through, surprised for the fastness but when you see the game and the business model you know it would have gone this way. 6 years of development with a speculated budget of 30 – 50 million dollars, and after 4 months the game servers are shutted down? I think many people realize the magnitude of this.. This should have been an online GTA, and in all honesty i wished this game to succeed, to expand, personally i lost any interest in this game when they announced the monthly fee.
Well at least they tried to make a different game, something special, i think we will re-see apb in a different business model.. some kind of free korean grindish mmo.. which it will never be a GTA online..
This could have been big…
it Must be F2P for working
i would have made this way:
-client to buy
-cash shop
-free up to 16 battle (8 vs 8)
-monthly fee for 100 vs 100 battles
