GoPets is Sharing the Newest Online Model

On Friday, October 28 at the Austin Game Conference, GoPets, Ltd. CEO, Erik Bethke will be the featured speaker at the groundbreaking symposium entitled, "The End of Subscriptions already? The Item Model for Online Games." The session is part of the "Games in Asia" track and is designed to shed light on this newly emerging business model for internet gaming.

"In Korea the subscription model is all but dead, with only a few exceptions, " said Bethke. "The cauldron for new online business has chewed up and spit out this model as being an inefficient one-size-does-not-quite-fit-all deal that has been smashed by the item business model."

Erik Bethke, CEO and founder of GoPets Ltd., has been developing games for ten years. As CEO of Taldren, Inc., he managed the development of the Starfleet Command real-time tactical starship simulator. He acted as the lead designer and producer/executive producer throughout the series.
