For the question of the week, I believe A:IR will probably adopt a buy to play model. Why? BDO's success plays into this as it, too was an unknown IP. Furthermore even though A:IR is an unknown IP, it's far from an unknown developer, so they have that going for them as well. And of course it gives them a way to recoup some of their investment upfront with the obvious option of going free to play later if it will better suit them. All in all it seems like the most sound option.
P.S. Q - you totally are the weekly bomb. (In a good way). Love you guys.
