    I just can't see me wanting to log in to some network and find some random person to do an online game with. For me, I'm playing against the machine. I don't think the majority of owners would use it for gaming. All we need is the ability to update or auto update online. Anything else would be used to drive up price at a time where prices need to stop or go down. Look at the virtual community. If there ever was a group who would have pioneered this, it would have been them. And they haven't. Why? Because nobody wants it.

    Quoted from phoenixpin:

    Charging for downloadable content is the obvious business play for Stern. That is why internet enabled machines will happen. Rarehero where is your debate on this? And I mean I’d like to hear your argument for/against it from the business, feasibility and fun aspects...

    100% true. Games will come with base code. Want the new update? Then pay for the download. Want the new modes? Pay the man. I wouldn't be surprised if this isn't Deeproot's plan. Lower cost base model and pay for downloadable content to add modes and pay for new modes and features. So games ship with "full code" with more to come.
