App Hub and Windows Phone 8

[Solitude]

Last year I got a free one year subscription to App Hub and it's going to expire next month. The only apps I developed was for my own personal use and they aren't really up to the standard to release to the public. I do have a game that's about halfway complete that I've been dabbling with in my spare time.

Now I see that Windows 8 is not part of App Hub and to sell apps on there you go to a completely different part of Microsoft.com. I also see that current Windows Phone 7 apps will run on Windows Phone 8.

However, does anyone know whether an App Hub subscription will be needed for Windows Phone 8 or will it make use of the Windows 8 app store?

I don't really know if it's worthwhile paying for a year subscription to App Hub if it's going to become obsolete like XNA.

90% sure the current apphub will serve wp8 when it comes out.

Thanks roguemat. However I think I'm not going to renew the subscription and then I'll wait and see what happens. It's rather silly that Windows 8 now has its own store and that it has nothing to do with the App Hub. The lack of information from Microsoft is a wee bit annoying.
