[QUOTE="knuckles_sonic8, post: 62176, member: 1628"] New program has been announced today from GDC: "During a Game Developers Conference session called "Planning the Wii Menu" today, Nintendo's Takashi Aoyama announced a new Pay to Play program. This will be a new version of the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection (NWFC). Aoyama explained that NWFC will remain a free service, but forthcoming experiences will require users to pay a fee to enjoy. These services will fall under the new NWFC: Pay to Play program. Games that utilize the new service will feature a logo similar to the one used for NWFC but is orange and reads Pay to Play at the bottom. Unfortunately, Aoyama did not go into details about what games or services we will be paying to play. He did say Nintendo is taking steps to ensure consumers don't mistakenly buy a Pay to Play game with the expectation that they will be able to access the entire game for no extra charge." Thoughts? I think they're going to discourage potential consumers, especially since I won't have money to pay for Wi-Fi. Even if it was via Wii Points.. But on the other side of the token, some have been waiting for this as this opens up the door to DLC. I'd love to hear what you all think. ;) [/QUOTE]
