GameTap intends to attract between 1.5 million to 2 million subscribers over the next 2-3 years, according to the New York Times. Subscriptions are priced at USD 14.95 per month, with a two week free trial currently on offer.
"We've taken GameTap on the road and hosted a few thousand gamers through our experiential marketing programs, and now we're ready to take GameTap to a mainstream audience," said GameTap general manager Stuart Snyder.
"GameTap puts an entire library worth of games - both current and classic - at your finger tips. The game community, and for that matter the Internet itself, has never seen anything like it."
