In the future, we’re pretty sure that games will either cost nothing or be very expensive. Or both.
On this episode of the Game|Life podcast, we discuss a pair of stories that point towards the brave new world of selling videogames. Freemium games like Temple Run are taking over the app store, making their money off the small percentage of players who choose to pay and letting everybody else ride free.

Wired senior editors Chris Baker and Peter Rubin and Wired managing editor Marty Cortinas join in this week, as ever, to give their educated takes on the news.
