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."
