If MS can find some way to persuade gamers to pay for Windows Live gaming, then they will; in fact if games are going to be available for PC and 360 using the 360 pad, then as a paying 360 gamer wouldn't you be miffed that your PC mates are playing the same game for free...?

MS are trying to sew up the online gaming arena by linking Xbox Live on 360 and Windows PC's.

I much prefer the Sony option, the onus is on them to provide content that I want to pay for, rather than charging me regardless of whether I play online or not.

I love PC gaming but I'm very troubled and concerned about what I feel are obvious ramifications that are going to happen since everyone's basically decided to forfeit and yield computer gaming over to Microsoft outright.
