Free At Last

In an effort to get more people to subscribe to their service, the folks at GameTap are going to rein in a bunch of their free titles. Effective January 22nd, 30 titles will return to Gold status, making them playable only to paying subscribers. A full of the titles reverting to their capitalist overlord standards can be viewed here, this list does include Mr. Robot, Deus Ex and anything else I may have recommended to you personally.

Bummer.

I can understand charging a premium to be able to play more recent, full-fledged games like Second Sight and Thief 3, but I guess I don't understand restricting a game like 1942. No one will be beating down the doors of GameTap to play 1942.

-K.
