Quake Live Beta Ends, Optional Subscription Plans Added

An anonymous reader sends news that the beta tag has come off of id's Quake Live, and they've added two subscription plans to monetize the game. The announcement asserts early and often that the game's current "Standard" play options will remain free-to-play. The lower subscription tier gets extra maps, a new Freeze Tag game mode, and clan creation abilities, among other things, for $2 per month. The higher plan, which is twice as expensive, grants players those benefits plus the capability to create their own private servers.

That would be $24. It costs 1.99 monthly only if you already subscribe, which means you paid $24.
How do these dickheads get away with this " $1.99 per month, billed annually," BS??
