Not sure how console releases are "trends". Also, can't mention f2p without Path of Exile. Absolutely the best example of what that pay model can be if done right.

How is the release of a console a trend? And number one at that?

What's wrong with PvZ2's F2P? I thought it was one of the better ways to do free to play. I was able to completely finish the game and unlock pretty much everything (except certain plants maybe? didn't really matter) without paying a single cent.

Releasing a new system at the same time of year they're always released is a trend?

If Wii U came out in March and then so did the PS4 and Bone that would be a trend. This isn't a trend, GT.

Someone at GT seriously needs to pick up a dictionary at least once in their life.

It's nice to see that GT's quality remains the same as it was when I ditched it.

Stupid list on a stupid subject.

Cranky. Very cranky.
Rather sarcastic to boot.

Me too. TBH if it didn't say free upon installing, I wouldn't have known it was a F2P game.

I stopped playing after the game was like "Oh, you want to the next level? How about replaying the previous levels over and over again for stars?! That's fun, right? Or give us 5€, that'll do too"
No thanks

Cross play is the only one that makes sense on that list, and it is indeed a nice trend. Paying multiple times for the same game on different platforms in the same family is disgusting and wrong.

...two new consoles is a 'trend'? I mean if your list was "Top 5 things that happened in 2013", then sure, that totally works. But that doesn't define a 'trend'.

Cross play is playing on PS Vita with PS3 players, and vise versa.

Cross BUY is what you're talking about.

Still think Sony should have released a video about these terms ages ago. Cross buy, cross save, cross play, cross controller, remote play... cross goods... Sony and dat messaging.
