Gamespot Goes to Subscription Model

Posted by michael on from the ask-not-for-whom-the-paypal-tolls dept.

-PS-Sangloth writes "Gamespot, arguably the best video gaming website will expand in July to a pay service(Gamespot Complete). It seems that while review scores will be free, the actual reviews for new PC games will cease to be available to non-payers 7 days after the review was written. This is a real pity, I suspect many PC Gamers, like me, don't have credit cards(or cash), and Gamespot has good, hard, objective reviews. Read what they said at Gamespot Complete."

    It started about the same time that Linux got popular. Perhaps because users refused to buy the sites' actual commercial products, in order to stay 'open-source'? In the end, it always comes back on you.
