"Among the predictions: no more rentals from video stores, no used games market, no lending games to friends, less upgradeable computers, pay-as-you-play software subscriptions, and other consumer-unfriendly changes. In all, less gaming value for your hard-earned dollar."
I really have to disagree with the whole "pay-as-you-play" thing getting any momentum. Right now the whole MMORPG market is flooded with clones (there hasn't been a good release since UO prior 98), and it will only be a matter of time before people will get sick of playing the same game. Not only that but do you know anyone who would play(pay) for more than 3 of these? The fact that Midway is re-releasing its older machines should say something. They need to start making games gamers want, instead of worrying about how to take my money.
