Trion Worlds has announced that its two year old massively multiplayer game Rift will switch from a subscription to free-to-play business model starting June 12th.
Trion Worlds has released the first gameplay trailer for Defiance, the upcoming sci-fi shooter MMO game for the PC and consoles that will be linked to an upcoming TV series for Syfy.
An account database for the popular MMO Rift was reportedly the victim of a cyber attack, although the game's publisher Trion Worlds claims there is no evidence that credit card numbers were taken.
