Best MMORPG Business Model? (Free To Play, P2W, Buy To Play Or Sub Fee?)

A topic that's been hotly debated among the MMORPG community for years now is what the best MMORPG business model actually is? is it free to play (F2P) Buy To Play (B2P) Pay To Win (P2W) or Subscription? In this video I give my point of view in a discussion type format and explain how business model choice has a fundamental impact on how a game is designed going forward giving examples of games that have gone for the right business model and games that have been ruined as a result of their business model, as this is a bit of a long discussion video it's intended to be listened to rather than watched, also feel free to give your thoughts on the topic in the comments below!
