GameSpot’s paid subscriptions services ending

 thats cool.

Thank goodness that Gamespot is treating all its user's equally.

If you're trying to just avoid ads, just get an ad-blocker extension on either Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.

One of the main reasons I pay for a subscription is so that I don't have to see the ads. I just tried using the site for a while without being logged in, and those ads were really annoying. I hope you'll reconsider and let those that want to pay to avoid ads continue to do so.

For as long as I've been visiting this website, I forgot paid subs actually existed here....

Cool. This is a good move by GS.

Cool.  Well, I never had any intention of paying to talk about a fun past time of mine, so I'm glad it's going all free.  And hopefully there won't be any sort of really negative repercussions.

I don't think this will have much of an impact on the site since many seem not to be aware it even existed.  If it wasn't for coloured usernames and an emblem on your profile I think even fewer would realise.

I... actually approve of this. Can't wait for the benefits that paid users got that are getting trickled to us. 

So is this because they make plenty of money from advertising alone that subscriptions are negligible?  Either way this is awesome for us.

Awesomesauce !  Now i can finally get that sweet purple font colour 

I had a sub for a short time, if I remember right. I think I stopped it, because I was underwhelmed by what it had to offer. It's nice that they're carrying over some of the features as part of the free service, though.

Yeah I had no idea that there was a paid subscription option. Crazy!

Since when was there a paid subscription service on GameSpot o-o

This is not what I expected, but this would be good news for those of us with free accounts.

That's too bad.  I've had it since they first started it back in 02.(or whenever it was).  Good show.

Thank you GameSpot.. What a ride. I <3 U 4EVA! ;-)
