well i paid $40 for earlier access
what destroys mmo im my opinion are the bots/cheats/exploits. As far as i know GW2 has tons of those.
How many single players people actually play after the first month? in fact many sell them after a week when then complete them
Single player games takes from 10 to 40 hours with average of 15-20. that is about a week of game play for a non hardcore player and a couple of days for hardcore players.
And those cost $60!!!
in a average of playing 20 hours a week Id have to buy 4 single player games a month ( $240 ) to match the hours id play online. so $15 isnt expensive for the amount of entertainment.
So, while it is fun to play it is worth, when gets boring, just cut the subscription and move on. the hours played were very worth it.
Now .. the games i want to play but are yet to be released are
the witcher 3
the crew
star citzen
Everquest next
in sure not against subscription. IMO it works better than FTP as they will have ingame currency and give advantage to those who buy stuff.
what i am against is paying for the software when i have to pay subscription. software should be free to download. paid if you want the box, dvds, booklets and etc..
but $40-15 = $25 paid to download the elder scrolls
also when one subscribe, all addons should be free.
