I'm not surprised that it was not a game "journalist" that deduced this. If it turns out to be true, I'm never buying Live again. I'll still buy non-PS3 exclusives for the Xbox as I like the platform better and the 360 has a better warranty than the PS3, but I could care less about multiplayer. The only reason I subscribe to Live is for Netflix and the sales really and I've never paid more than $30 for a year. If it turns out that MS expects me to pay an extra $10 for a game that I've never played and never intend to buy, yeah, don't think so.
