The future of video games? Pay as you go?

I remember well the, "dark days" when we all had to pay by the minute or hour for internet access of any type.

I suspect in the future, we'll see only run-of-the-mill games for the PC and more advertisement and subscription-supported sites like, "Pogo" (in the US - don't know if they're international) - one can either play, "Trivial Pursuit" or, "Scrabble" --- and little else. The major efforts and popular stuff'll be sent to the consoles where, "they" can more easily maintain profit margins and more easily control piracy.
