Pay Per View, Update
An announcement on Consimworld today reports that the subscription response so far appears to exceed most expectations, with over 1,000 gamers having signed up so far. At $15 per subscription, this apparently is enough to move the service up to another level. As a result, John Kranz has announced that read-only access to Consimworld will now be free, although only subscribers will be able to post messages. This should relieve many of the concerns over this subscription plan related to the difficulty new players would have in discovering what a terrific resource Consimworld is for gamers. Congratulations and compliments to John for reaching this milestone, for being able to open up the site to casual viewers, and for being willing to offer refunds to the inevitable few who will feel "cheated" by this change in the value of their $15.
