The Agency won't be going "outright for $15 a month"

Speaking to Kikizo, Sony Online Entertainment's Kevin O'Hara's confirmed that monthly fees are going to play a part in spy shooter MMO The Agency. Free-to-play for the win.

"We're acutely aware that shooter players are not used to paying monthly fees, so I doubt we'll go for an outright $15 a month, which works on some of our other projects," he said.

"So we're checking out Free Realms to see how they're going to do with their micro-transactions, and we might incorporate some of that. We'll definitely have some ad revenue models. The Agency's the perfect place for some in-game product placement."

No date on it as yet. Thanks, Massively.
