EA has denied a suggestion made by industry analyst Michael Pachter that it will “emulate” Activision and begin charging for its Battlelog service.
In a note released by Pachter he commented: “Ultimately, we expect Electronic Arts to emulate Activision and charge for Battlelog by including map packs with the service for a $50 fee.”
Pachter wasn’t clear if he meant the publisher would introduce a subscription fee with Battlelog for Battlefield 3 or for future titles.
EA has, however, distanced itself from the suggestion, offering IndustryGamers the following statement:
“We are providing Battlelog to Battlefield 3 players to deliver the best social, multiplayer FPS experience in the market. We have no plans to charge for this service with Battlefield 3. The Battlefield series has always been about playing with friends, and Battlelog takes that experience to the next level by serving as a unique social network.”
Battlefield 3 will be released October 28 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. Modern Warfare 3 and Call of Duty Elite launch a few weeks later on November 8.
