Move Over World of Warcraft, Step Aside Everquest. GoPets is Sharing the Newest Online Model.

SEOUL, KOREA - Oct. 24, 2005 - 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."
