| pokoko said: They won't, but not out of altruism. If they're really going after the more casual 'Puzzles & Dragons' market then it would be a blunder to add an online fee. Core gamers who pay for their own hobbies would pay it, which is why it works on Xbox and Playstation, but every other demographic would balk. They'd do it if they could but it would likely be a bad move for them. |
I don't think it's out of altuism either, but I definitely don't think it's because they're going for a casual market, because they aren't. They won't because they think there is a more intelligent way to go about creating stronger consumer relations that is completely free, and they've detailed, on many occasions, how. They wouldn't do it if they could because they think their way is better and more lucrative, and that way is free of a subscription fee.
