POTCO is free!

The person who put that quote in Wikipedia was me.

Disney's Paul Yanover DID say that, I heard it with my own ears during a recording of his speech at the Consumer Electronics Show back in January.

BUT, I agree with everyone else that what he really MEANT was that you can play the limited, ad-supported version for free for as long as you want. That seems pretty clear from everything that's happened since that speech. During the first beta, some people actually tested the limited ad-supported version, so we know that it exists.

Of course, in the same speech he also said that the game would open in the 2nd quarter of 2007, and we all know how that worked out.
