I think we'll see more pay-to-win type stuff, with games as free to play but giving the player the chance to buy better stuff, and/or level up. This is obviously suited to modern and future eras, although as Farber says we see Chivalry and Wars of the Roses which do a similar thing.
There was a Source mod for a WW1 shooter, but it died. I guess it only had niche appeal - no automatic weapons and pretty grim environments.
