Hartsman: Subscription became vastly more challenging. To this day, Rift still gets thousands of sign-ups every single day, but we saw that subscription was acting as a barrier. We did the vast majority of our business directly from our own platform websites, so we could see the stats the entire way.

    Scott has become part of the corporate machine that gamers have come to despise. This is exactly why the Kickstarter phenomenon is so popular. Mr. Hartsman and Trion have lost my trust forever after what they did with the money grab that is Archeage. I wish him luck but I will never touch any product he is a part of.

    I will never trust Scott Hartsman and Trion to handle any game ever again. Their cash grabbing and marketing scheming ruined ArcheAge completely. Ever heard of a game whose Alpha test state was a thousand times BETTER than beta or release? Yeah, that's because of Trion's cash shop ideas. Hah he even said himself in this interview that they rejected the China version of ArcheAge that XLGames handed to them originally... Well guess what, Tencent's China version of AA is so much better than the crap we got in NA. "No tricks, no traps" is such a blatant Trion lie. Oh and Trove was launched with F2P in mind? Then why was a subscription "Patron" option added quietly when it launched? Yup. You can pay a monthly sub for Trove to dig faster and jump higher, among other benefits. The only thing truth in this interview is how he is focused on finance rather than making a successful game. Way to go! Any conscious gamer with any passion/care for the games that he/she plays would not be supporting this money grabbing CEO & company.

    Tl:Dr I use to be passionate about gaming. But now I'm passionate about making money.
