lol.. how did this become a Skype discussion

http://blogs.skype.com/2013/11/21/get-the-best-of-skype-on-xbox-one/
We are offering six months of free group video calling and 100 minutes of calls per month to landlines and mobiles in over 50 countries*.

Skype is actually looking at making group video calling free for all.. they talked about it last month..

Because people get insecure about their service and so talk about how great their non-related features are :D

But yes, according to the links you've so generously provided, skype group, which was what we were debating in regards to party-chat, is indeed a pay service that is free for a limited time. Whether or not they make group calls free, only time will tell. It really depends on how big the competitors' free services get. That news was actually posted to vgc here a week or so ago.
