I would humbly point out that such a business model is irreconcilable with everyone but Warcrack-heads, so I'd like to think there's no danger of it being used.Hertston wrote:Will PC Multiwinia players have to pay a subscription for half the multiplayer 'features'... yes or no? I would humbly point out that that particular business model has already completely f****d up two high-profile RTS releases.

I'm not sure you quite get the point. With Microsoft Live as the included online play facility that IS the business model... basic online play is free but additional features such as ranking, matching, etc involve a subscription to Live (you only need one for all games using the system, PC or hexbox).
Well it depends, if IV use the microsoft live platform for multiplayer then I'm sure they'll offer a non extort, ahem, I mean pay per month option. Ofc they could bypass the xbox live system and implement their own metaserver like defcon (anyone who knows about xbox programming know if this is possible?)

So glad!
I'm so glad you are bringing it to consoles, Darwinia is one of my favorite games. The thing is my computer is getting so slow, I can barely run the first darwinia. Here's to hoping it works just as well on the Xbox as it does the computer!

Well you'll need a Live Account to use online multiplayer functions,
however if the game uses its own servers you can make do with
a free silver membership.
That works for me
And if it's going to be on XBLA you'd still need the Live Account
to buy and download it.
(and again silver membership would be enough).
