My only hope is that the content they’re referring to is something that people would be willing to pay for. The Qore magazine is nice and all but can hardly be called premium content especially when you can get through an episode in about an hour or so.

My guess is that most of this content will probably be first-party or at least it will be initially. Game developers will still program for the lowest common denominator so chances of games offering things that are only available to these subscription based customers will be rare indeed.
