In a new interview conducted late yesterday afternoon, "ComputerEd" had the opportunity to talk with Star Trek Online Executive Producer Dan Stahl. The interview commences with a discussion about Wednesday's bombshell that STO would be going F2P by the end of 2011.
"Free to play is liberating in many ways. It liberates development. It liberates our ability to say, 'You know what? You don't have to buy our game to try it. You don't have to make that $15 a month investment just to see if it's a game you'd like.'" Stahl says in the interview.
It's a great peek into the F2P decision for STO in what we believe is the first "official" interview on the subject. Head over to ComputerEd to hear the rest.
