OK. Let me explain myself. IMO GameFaqs can't go pay without drastically changing their site. Now I haven't read their rules as far as hosting Faqs are concerned. Maybe they reserve the rights to have complete use of anything on their site.
If not however, the writers of the faqs retain the rights to their works and if they disagreed with profit being made from their work they could either have GameFaqs remove the content they contributed or sue them for royalties.
This fact doesn't guarantee that GameFaqs will never go pay, but if it does there will likely be legal reprecussions.
However, I do agree. If cost get too high, they will likely have to come up with a business model to stay afloat. If they do though, then they must plan ahead when it comes to the content they host that they may not directly have rights too.
Taking it one day at a time.
