Diablo 3 - On Subscriptions and Modding

More tidbits from Blizzcon with Shacknews quoting Jay Wilson as not being keen to have a Battle.net subscription but monetising other aspects is likely:

Diablo III director Jay Wilson said today that the company does not have a great desire to charge a subscription fee for the upcoming revision of its multiplayer client Battle.net. However, the developer did note that Blizzard will likely monetize unknown features of the game.

"We are going to monetize features so that we get to make them," said Wilson. "We kind of have to."

Wilson noted that whatever the content would be, it would have an appropriate value to users.

He goes on to say they won't be supporting mods.
