Quote of the Day
“Ultimately we have to ask ourselves the question: what is fair to us as consumers, and as gamers? Is the subscription option really the fairest solution? For everybody? Or most players? If your answer to that doesn’t contain a great deal of room for gray areas, positive and negative examples, and different folks’ varying playstyles, then you are viewing the issue in a stark and superficial light. The idea that Cover Charge + subscription = good and NCC + microtransactions = bad grossly oversimplifies the issue and ignores almost all of the many variables involved. It is ideology rather than opinion, and as such it’s not susceptible to the vicissitudes of reason or reality. It is, to put it bluntly, moronic.”

Then I’m a moron, meh.
Actually, I have NOTHING against the f2p-cashstore-etc idea. What I do have a problem with is the paradigm in the industry that a game can go f2p, and pretty much break the game by making anything useful cost money. That’s why I go with the more tried and true subscription model. I have access to the content, and it changes over the months, and I get major additions with expansions. Good.
