The IGN Experiment

Apr 17, 2001 12:32pm CST tags: Industry News: PC & Console
IGN is making a bold move. They are going to the pay-website model. This isnt the Salon Experiment either. They are calling the new service "IGN Insider". It isnt clear if paying will remove advertisements from their website but they are offering up hot new features for $29.95 a year. Ability to use special messageboard tags and Q&A's with their editors and a few other misc other things. But this is the kicker:

...in the not too distant future, IGN will roll some of its regular features behind the Insider label

I'm not quite sure $30 a year for messageboard tags and a "printable PDF" is exactly a bargain. Maybe if they tossed in DailyRadar's Nintendo coverage!
