Yeah I am not a fan of this freemium model at all. The best thing to do is to vote with your wallet and not support any of this nonsense.

^ ^ ^ Wot he said.

Ya mon. That man, he said it right. S'ight?

Yeah, a fair price for decent DLC like maps and expansions is all right by me too. Though I thought the BF3 DLC asking price was too much at the time (I eventually got it cheap but no one's flippin' well playing it now).

But, GTA V's Online's coming for you lucky so and so's who've got it on PS3 and you'll maybe be expected to pay with real money for things like guns and ammo now. I dunno how it'll work exactly but imagine someone runs you over and kills you then steals all your (real) money?!!! Now, that would be a whole new level of game-quit rage wouldn't it?

Shame, that Hearthstone will already have a huge fanbase to plug into and I'm thinking a youthful one at that.

It's going to be interesting reading all the horror stories later on when parents realise their sons and daughters have bankrupted them from buying a magical sword or something. "But nobody told me it was real money wittle Jonny was using."
