Global Agenda is now F2P

It patched today! Go try it out if you haven't. I've been playin' it since pre-release and I still enjoy it.



You can get it from Steam (hit Download Demo - it's actually the full version):

Or, from HiRez website:

Global Agenda is going f2p because that's where the money is. Kind of ironic.

Is there any difference with where you get it from? Do the people who get it from the HiRez website play with people from steam?

There is no difference between the two methods regarding gameplay. However, whenever there is a patch for GA, the Steam client usually has a larger patch size because it can't edit files (it complete replaces the file, even if only one line was changed).

Pay to play MMO going free = fail MMO.

I wouldn't really consider Global Agenda an MMO. It's more like TF2 with jetpacks and some instanced PvE.



I don't think GA was ever truly a P2P game. It was a one time purchase for most of the game with some of the MMO features available with an additional sub. http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/10...global-agenda/



Also I don't think anyone would consider LOTR:O a fail MMO.
