Microsoft Starts Charging for XBox Live’s Online Games

Microsoft has started charging for one of its most admired titles in its XBox Live gaming service, MechAssault. The new game content and maps will set you back $4.99.

GameIndustryBiz: “For Xbox Live users, this will be the first time they’ve had to hand over money for anything on the service since they purchased the original Xbox Live starter kit. Some gamers have expressed concern that this new model may lead to publishers releasing unfinished games and then charging for “additional” content which should have been in the original game.”
