Indeed.  The reality is now that it's been shown to be a proven and profitable revenue stream, it'll take a very serious effort by people who really want to play games, to put an end to it.  And right now, in the current climate among gamer's, I just don't see that happening.

We also never know if it'll make its way onto PC either.  Because it's went so well for the console publishers, I'm sure Valve has messed around with the idea of forcing a fee to play online on Steam as well.  Whether  they'll eventually go through with it is a different story.

Well, I can't speak for anyone else, but I can say emphatically it's got zero chance with me.  There are far too many games that allow me to make my own servers, to have to aquiesce to anything Valve, Microsoft, Sony etc... try to force on me.  Yes, I would have to forgo certain titles in the future, but I had no problem saying no to titles I objected to on similar grounds over the past Gen.
