Star Trek Online Goes Free To Play

At a recent Q&A session it was announced that Star Trek Online would be going free to play by the end of the year.

"Star Trek Online, after the acquisition, in fact Cryptic is working on the free-to-play model for Star Trek Online. This is going to be launched by the end of this year as well. So I think free-to-play model we have a bigger potential in US market and also in China market."

What do you guys think of this big, but expected revelation?
