In one of the job descriptions at kylotonn they state "free to play games" as one of the things you should have experience in when applying for the job.
Now this could be something or nothing but it still seems strange to include it in the description.
They also say this:To succeed in this mission, you need :
Substantial experience :
Either in game design on massively multiplayer or free to play games
Or in consumer goods' management / online commerce
An understanding of game balance and economy, statistics, virtual goods, and players' motivations
An understanding of interface designs and navigation, being able to collaborate to create intuitive interfaces
An understanding of players' experience with economy in their daily lives : knowledge of e-business' systems, pricing and merchandising strategies
Having solid analytics capabilities, with a practical experience in Web analysis systems and trial methods.
It is obvious how they could do this and still make money off the game by selling in-game cars and upgrades etc.....An understanding of players' experience with economy in their daily lives : knowledge of e-business' systems, pricing and merchandising strategies
It would be a big twist for the franchise but this is a new company with new ideas so wile i think it is unlikely i wouldn't rule it out.
