DC Universe Online: 700% earnings growth since it's free

DC Universe Online changed to the model "freemium" few months ago(November 2011), meaning that you can play for free but the game is maintained through microtransactions, which are not mandatory but which enhance the experience of those who wish to invest in the title. This seems to be the way they are going to continue to take most of the MMORPG and thanks to this change the game to beat the worst nemesis that not even the greatest superhero ever overcame: the low number of subscribers.

According to John Smedley, president of Sony Online Entertainment, the DCUO player base has grown to 6% per day according to one recent post on his Twitter. As if this were not enough, game daily income reported growth of over 700% during the same period, 47% of PC users and 53% of PS3 owners. European players increased from 20 to 50%.

The change caused many old players who had already left the game to put their latex suits, their cloaks and return to the fight with more than 85% of daily log-ins. This is good news because more players means more fun and chaos in the digital city of DC, giving a new opportunity for all MMORPG that want to achieve a place in a market dominated by the king of kings of the genre: World of Warcraft.

If you haven't downloaded on your PC or PS3 you can go to the game's official website and download, but you have to be patience as the file is about 17GB, but definitely worth it!
