Maybe it will happen a year and a half later or else. At the end of the year, if you still play, you will lose the access to the services and will be able to decide if you wish to pay again. Here, if you take a standard access, for example, you will pay 9.99$ and will be able to access the 465 tracks and exclusive services. The question is that for online games that can benefit from support for years, what is the best model for each game.

In Trackmania, you will keep the 100 official + 365 tracks of the day after your yearly access and it is more related to tradionnal offline game content. Yes it can be called like it, like a season pass could be as well maybe. Here, it was simply to answer various players that were afraid of the "we keep your credit card" syndrom of most subscriptions. It's half of the deal, the other being us working hard to make the game. I like to discuss this question, especially on gamesindustry, since the money question is very important.

You can read Castelnérac's comment in full below this article. "And this is why we think that three years is a good delay." "Instead of being virtually committed to 'at least five more years' of support, we decided to be as honest as possible by not selling a 'lifetime' access," he wrote. In response to requests for 'lifetime' access, he notes that Nadeo is still operating some games that have been out for 15 years so it becomes difficult to "commit to a clear end of 'lifetime'." He adds that players keep this content after that period ends.Ĭastelnérac also said that using this model to fund more content for the next Trackmania would be "better than making a sequel," adding: "Having new games just for new income can make you develop things that are more marketable than really interesting to your core audience."

He writes that the model could also be likened to a season pass, in that it gives players a way to pay up front for any additional content that is released during the allocated period. Update, June 3, 2020: Ubisoft Nadeo's managing director Florent Castelnérac has responded to 's article with additional clarification on the studio's comments.

In a later post, Castelnérac clarified that after the paid period is over, user accounts revert to the free Starter Access. Both Club and Standard Access give the players more features, including the ability to save more than one track in the series' signature track editor. There is also Club Access, which costs $29.99 for one year or $59.99 for three years.

In a post on the game's website last month, the publisher revealed players will be able to access certain features for free, or pay $9.99 for one year of Standard Access. When the time is over, you have to buy the game again for the time that you want to access it again." "You pay for having access to the game for one period and that's it. "Actually, it's not a subscription model but an access to the game for a limited time," she wrote. Responding to these comments, a member of the Nadeo team - Amélie 'Alinoa' Castelnérac - insisted this was not a subscription.

Series fans expressed disappointment in a new pricing model on the Trackmania forums, with calls for developer Nadeo to "consider having a 'lifetime' purchase option" for those who did not wish to subscribe. Original Story, June 2, 2020: Ubisoft has asserted that the upcoming Trackmania does not charge a subscription - despite users having to pay in yearly installments.
