Lol, sensationalist title.

But now that you're here, you might as well read this article.

At least if they implement this, horrible, horrible people like mIKe will be forced to pay extra for games.

I see this back firing because a group of troll **** could ruin a person's popularity and make his games cost more, its like credit? The less you have the less likely your going to get it. If any one can vote on a persons reputation like that then it can make a really nice person very upset. Or get a ignorant person free games for life.

Hmm, by your title, "Valve to implement new **** system of paying for games", it would suggest that Gaben & company are actually doing this! I am shocked! Time to read this news article from a 3rd party, mid-tier vidya news website!

wide open to abuse, but the core idea is nice:
"Now, a real jerk that annoys everyone, they can still play, but a game is full price and they have to pay an extra hundred dollars if they want voice." lol

Apclear is just mad cause he'd have to pay another hundred dollars to be able to micspam :P

This Idea COULD work if there was a major vote, not a 1 v 1 vote. People who deserve the games but might not be able to pay for each one could get other games for free, and hate would die down a bit.
