Directly from the terms of service:
"You must have an Account to participate in any Gendai Game Services. You can sign up for a free membership Account to use the basic version of the Gendai Games Services, but to access and use the “Indie” and “Professional” version of the Gendai Game Services, you must pay an annual subscription fee. Payment for the initial subscription fee will be charged to your Account on the date on which the professional version of the Gendai Games Services is first made available to you (“Activation Date”). Thereafter, on each yearly anniversary of the Activation Date, your subscription will automatically renew and your Account will be charged for the then-current annual subscription fee, unless you cancel your subscription prior to the upcoming anniversary of the Activation Date.
You agree to pay all fees charged to your Account based on Gendai Games’ fees, charges, and billing terms in effect as shown on the payment page of the Site. If you do not pay on time or if Gendai Games cannot charge your PayPal account, credit card or other payment method for any reason, Gendai Games reserves the right to either immediately suspend or terminate your access to all or a portion of the Site or Gendai Games Services. All payments to your Account must be made from a source for which you are the named account holder. Gendai Games is not liable for any loss caused by any unauthorized use of your Pay Pal account, credit card or any other method of payment by a third party in connection with the Site. Gendai Games reserves the right to change its fees and billing methods at any time, provided that if you pay a yearly subscription fee for the Gendai Games Services, Gendai Games will provide you with notice of any changes to the fees or billing methods at least thirty (30) days in advance by posting notice of such changes on or through the Gendai Games Services. Your continued use of the Gendai Games Services after the changes have taken effect means that you accept such changes. If you cancel your subscription at any time, you will not receive a refund of any amounts paid before the effective date of cancellation of your subscription. You are responsible for paying any taxes that may apply to your use of the Gendai Games Services, in addition to the subscription fee or other applicable fees. If you have a balance due on any account, you agree that, and authorize Gendai Games to, charge such unpaid fees to your credit card or otherwise bill you for such unpaid fees.

Let me point something out:
"You agree to pay all fees charged to your Account based on Gendai Games’ fees, charges, and billing terms in effect as shown on the payment page of the Site."
We have agree to the TOS of the old company, Gendai Games; not the new company, GameSalad.

And potentially the 30 day notice of changes, while not directly affecting current subscribers, could give us some idea of when direct will start up.
Let say you bought an iPhone with AT&T and had a $5 data plan and free text messages. When your contract was up it's now $25 for data and $20 for texting. It sucks but it's their service and they can charge what they want. If they grand father you in for better terms then thats a bonus. It's their (AT&Ts or GSs) service. Like it or not, we have to play by their rules or go somewhere else to play.
It's pretty standard in most TOS contracts that they state that the contract writer can change the contract whenever they want.
Fuxking sucks
