id: Quake Live "Premium" Service and Wolfenstein Live Possible

Computer and Video Games has a couple of updates from the future, revealing items from a John Carmack interview from the issue of PC Zone magazine that will hit newsstands tomorrow. One bit highlights a comment about the possibility that a premium version of Quake Live will be implemented at some point, but he makes it very clear that this depends on how things go with the free version. The second tidbit says that a browser-based version of Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory could also follow if Quake Live turns out to be successful. This seems to contradict comments he made about this at QuakeCon (story), but they quote him saying: "If [Quake Live] is successful, we've tossed around the idea of taking the Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory game - which was actually always more popular than Q3A in the online space - and doing a similar treatment to it with the experience we've gained here." Again, this all depends on Quake Live, as they quote him saying id will not put any effort into that until they "know whether Quake Live was a brilliant idea or if it was dumb move."
