Microsoft's announcements of games supporting cross-device multiplayer support between Windows 10 PCs and Xbox One raises an interesting question of whether Windows gamers would be expected to pay a premium, as Xbox gamers must pay for an Xbox LIVE Gold subscription for the privilege of multiplayer gaming. Microsoft's Major Nelson tweets a reassurance that PC gamers and Windows Phone users will not be required to pay (thanks Videogamer). Word is: "Not charging. Xbox Live Gold will not be required for online multiplayer gaming using our service on Windows 10 PCs and Phones."
