I’m going to made a big call… freemium will always be around catering to casual markets, but so will traditional full priced packaged games. Why? Because there is a massive audience of gamers who don’t like freemium and there will always be a market that they drive. They will demand a certain experience and they will not buy into freemium.

I personally do not like the Freemium model I have tried to find a game that works for me but in the end I find the constant awareness of having to pay more and more money and the way the games are structured to constantly remind you that you need to buy its currency to really succeed is not a pleasant experience. It’s like watching a movie on free to air TV, it sucks with all the advertising pulling you out of the experience.

There will be a bubble of freemium investment, infact that is happening right now but eventually it will burst as it fails to attract the traditional big spending core market and the people playing the freemium games right now realise how much fun they’re not having and go back to their non gaming lives…
