From Subscription to Hybrid - Introducing Virtual Item Sales into EVE Online

Overview:

Modifying an established, successful business model that's served you well for eight years is quite an undertaking.

Join Associate Producer Ben Cockerill of CCP as he explains the whys and wherefores of transitioning EVE Online from a subscription-based to a hybrid subscription-with-virtual-sales business model.
