Who will pay $9.95 a month for Half-Life 2 and related content? I sure as hell won't. They had better walk softly here, or they are going to loose a lot of customers. I predict that their monthly fee based plan is going to be an absolute flop unless they can come out with some seriously kick butt content. And what will they come out with? HL2? CS2? TFC2? Historically, CS and TFC were free downloads once you purchased HL. They could probably sell CS2 and it would be quite sucessfull based on how CS was. TFC2 would likewise be a hit, even though TFC seems to have been abandoned. But are those worth a recurring $9.95 fee? (probably not).
They are treading on thin ice...... ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, September 03, 2003 1:22 PM Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Pay to play response from Gabe Newell.
