During his QuakeCon keynote speech, id founder John Carmack announced that a premium subscription service will be coming to Quake Live.
According to Carmack, the in-game advertising revenue isn’t enough to keep Quake Live afloat. He stated, “The in-game advertising stuff has not been big business. That’s not going to be able to carry the project.”
Gamers who choose to signed up for the premium subscription will be able to customise and run private servers. As of right now, no price has been announced for the premium subscription.
If you are worried that QL will start forcing you to pay-to-play, don’t fret. Carmack stated that the game will never go completely pay-to-play. He said, “Quake Live is gonna be Quake Live for the foreseeable future. It’s only just now that we’re going to be able to put it to the test.”
