Its going free to play

[CrunkRabbit]

Within 3 months of launch its going free to play and those that bought the game will receive $5 of in game cash shop credit to compensate them.

It wouldn't surprise me if it did, but it wouldn't be 3 months. More likely a year. Depends really on what they add after launch. Because as is the content isn't there to be a long lasting MMO. They could really turn it around like ESO and FFXIV did, but that also depends on Amazon actually supporting the game.

What we know about Amazon so far is they just cancel if it's not the success they want. We'll see.

Bankrupt no, but losing support and shutting down in a year is a possibility.

It will survive for some time...as a whaling app.

F2P in 6-12 months is my guess.

I don't know about that. They'd be more likely just to fire everyone and rebuild the gaming division. Either way, yeah this is probably going to do the same thing most MMOs do now. Go FTP, item mall will get more and more P2W, will be sold off to Nexxon, and then a couple years later sold to some company no one has ever heard of that abandons the game completely and makes the cash shop laughable. At which point, seeing another person in the game will be a unique and exciting experience.

Nah its not going to. Amazon has enough money to keep it afloat and work on it.
Just look at Fallout 76, it crashed and burned but still is Pay to Play + it has an entire p2w subscription to add on top of that. Yet its still apparently going pretty well and you can't buy it for much cheaper than full price.

[PortalShifter]

Nah.

All these people speculating and wanting to be right XD

Its just a video game, who effing cares...

Not taking the chance of it braking my video card shame they really dropped the ball on this one game is dead to me free or not

[Trouser_Dune_Worm]

Everyone said the same thing during ESO's poor launch too.

If we're talking about Crowfall, definitely. I don't think this will happen to New World. It's already the top seller on Steam, and god knows how many more people pre-ordered it on Amazon.
I also don't know what book you're doing your research from, but I don't remember a game that had millions invested in it failing hard.
