God, I hope not. Not only it would alienate its current and future fanbase (blocking the multiplayer to titles like Pokemon, MarioKart, Smash, Splatoon...), they would crash and burn without the same discounts/services offered by PS+ or XboxLive, and that needs massive 3rd party support. Plus, charging for online multiplayer is theft, plain and simple. |
It's coming though. Nintendo is going to do as they move into the digital age and develop their online options. Charging for online mutliplayer is scummy, but that money is going to improving and developing the online services. It's not like Steam where each games uses P2P networks through each individual games matchmaking. That requires zero infrastructure on Valve's part.
