Star Trek Online - Rumours @ Shacknews

Shacknews has word that there may be changes afoot for Star Trek Online in the wake of Perpetual Entertainment's acquisition by an as yet unnamed media company.

Perpetual has been acquired by new ownership, reportedly a media company looking to use Star Trek Online to make its first major inroads into the video game market. Along with the acquisition comes a partial retargeting of Star Trek Online to what our source describes as a "more casual" experience, one which may potentially eschew subscription fees in favor of the practice of charging real money for optional in-game items, a practice popularized by various Korean MMOs.
