Sega flips us off again... Pay to Play SegaNet...

[BoneStormer]

It seems now Sega has gone and done it again... Starting Nov 1 they will charge $10/month to play games on their SegaNet servers (PSO is separate from this). As far as I have heard this includes all DC games already out (Q3A/UT/NFL2K2/Ooga Booga), but unknown if this is just for future games. Remember Bomberman's shipping was delayed to Oct 31... the day before this new pay system takes effect...

Sega is like a crack dealer... they get you hooked... and then JACK the prices up!! See my sig below...

Note that even though it says Sega of Japan says this, it means for the US market.

Since EZ board is into censorship, I'll mask the whole thing:

I was fuging wrong again? How about we have a new contest: Guess how Sega can screw Sega fans even more. Holy shiat, it seems that the creativity used to screw Dreamcast fans is better than the weird ideas for games.

I was just wondering to myself just how long after DC's death would people play Dreamcast online. I know MY answer-Oct 31st.

Sega's not getting another penny from me (with the exception of Super Monkey Ball dammit!)

FUG SEGA!

FUG SEGA IN the Gosh Darn Freakin eyeball and give it fugin glaucoma!

They just p|ssed on my favorite freaking online game UT the bastids!

Heh nice post Tork... its times like this ezBoard's censor crap pisses me off. It's a pretty lame sensor though, like you can say parts of swears like fuckin a mon!

And yes it seems all games that are played via SegaNet game servers will now fall under this new cost plan (its a flat $10 fee per month to play any games you want on SegaNet, DC's psov2 is separate though). With the expection being the original PSO since that is on its own servers this will still be free... sigh. Better play the shiznit out of your DC online games while you can! And you may want to think about cancelling any Bomberman Online preorders, hehe;)

Maybe this info is false, but I got it from Gamespot... ack! Its just that it's unsure how they could enforce older games to use this new pay method. If you look at Q3A's master server it even lists games that aren't on SegaNet servers (true this is the only expection I think, all others but PSO are on SegaNet servers).

Thats pretty damned lame and I wont be paying 10 bucks a month to play bomberman online..sigh..well at least I hear its more fun offline with other modes like hyper bomber. Plus you cant chat while playing so even though this pisses me off, ill still be buying the game. Damn Sega has been on a roll this month for screwing us over.
