Joost emailed us this morning to point out that a new trailer for Shadowrun mentions a Games for Windows Live Gold account.
A voice over at the very end proclaims 'Shadowrun links Xbox 360 and Windows Vista players together for the first time'. Then visible on the screen for a second is the following credits, including '...requires Xbox LIVE Gold account and hard drive (on Xbox 360) or Games for Windows - LIVE Gold account (on Windows)' (emphasis mine)
What did you think? That Microsoft was going to let you play your games online for free? While this doesn't confirm that the Windows Live Gold account will cost money, its existence certainly implies it. I just hope this isn't the beginning of premium pricing for all online PC gaming.
