Didnt quite see this coming especially since Champions went Free to play on steam and had been doing better than ever money wise, and PWE is famous for Free to play mmo's so will Star Trek follow the normal path of other PWE games?

Whats your thoughts on it?

mabey either they want more people to play it or they are trying to make the game better so more people can play it

Perfect World Entertainment now owns these games?

Sounds absolutely horrid... Considering Perfect World 1 and 2 were both horrendous and poorly moderated, what will happen to these games that have a pretty good user base that isn't over-run with gold sellers and botters? Perfect World Entertainment are perhaps the worst company to inherit a game...

Ah well, now I know never to play Star Trek Online, I probably would've, but PWE's tag on any game is a poisonous one... I'd compare them to JOYMAX if I had to choose anyone remotely as crap...

But that's my two cents...
