And then in a sub based MMO you pay upfront, and have to dump an unjustifiably large sum of money on the game every month just to be aloud access to play the game you bought, and in certain cases they also try to nickle and dime you(I'm looking at you WoW, but other games, such as The Secret World, do it too).
And people's problem with a sub fee isn't that "it's so hard to unsub and resub", its that the general sub fee of 15$ a month that is forced on you just to access the game, often on top of the box price, can be pretty pricey especially in the long run. Paying for a year adds up to 180$, did you really get a 180$ experience out of that game? (roughly 180, depending on box price and discount from buying multiple months at a time)Depends how you look at it of course, 15 dollars a month for something you enjoy and spend a lot of time on is certainly good. But 15 dollars a month for the actually content and frequency of updates you are getting generally isn't.

Hey now, I just told you I don't mind it. There's nothing you can say that will change that with me. It's cheap ass entertainment. Some games like DDO you have to have a PHD to figure out how to work around not subbing and maximizing $$$, please just give me everything for $15, thank you. I will say since FTP has made a hold, that yes even in sub games they now want that cash shop to, that indeed does suck. I know one thing, if everyone was like me, there wouldn't be FTP because there just isn't any money in it because I'm very tight on buying virtual gimmicks. But there are people with loads of cash that obviously feeds these companies for crapola. I never get caught up in that, you could be wearing a million dollars in virtual swag, I won't even notice and if I did, I'd care even less.
