Okay, I just want to explore the possibilities on what could happen if Bungie/Microsoft does decide to make you pay for Live Anywhere. Now, when XBL was made, there were alternatives to online play. Basically, you'd play on a huge, emulated LAN, such as XBConnect
Firstly, I am interested in whether or not it will happen with Live Anywhere. If you can hack a console, then you can most certainly hack a PC. So I want to guess that a Halo 2 LAN emulator will happen.
More interestingly, what is the effect of this if this does happen? It will split the community up, between those who pay for it and who doesn't, meaning most of the hacker or advanced computer users will be on the emulated LAN, roughly.
Just looking to stir up some thought. I don't neccesarily support a Lan emulator, but I don't want to pay to play online. $50 bucks is quite enough.
