Well, if you had four big dinosaurs and thousands and thousands of tiny rodents in your planet, which one would you determine as the 'dominant' species?
I guess that, because we are talking about what is essentially a service, we can understand dominance in two ways: quantity of consumers, and raw quantity of offers.
I'm not sure all the subscription games together would ammount to anything as the majority of MMO players. They certainly have a lot, though, but it's hard to determine that thanks to F2P games being kind of volatile in the matter.
What we certainly have is a 'dominance' by F2P in the offer side of things, however.
To whit, on planet Earth, for every human on the planet, there are a million ants. Â I defeated their dominance in our office with a bi-annual chemical spray.
