    The only games I’m comfortable with having a subscription. Is a game like WoW where they are supporting a large server farm/infrastructure for the game.

      Thing is that it has been shown that the cost doesn’t add up. Guild Wars and Guild Wars 2 are both games you only pay the cost of the box, no on going subscriptions and they are able to continue running the servers and infrastructure just fine. 15$/mo just doesn’t make sense.

        WoW is even worse than that.

        When the player base on your server dies and there are no raiding guilds left there it costs like $20 to move your character. Per character.

        It’s been years since I’ve played but that’s one of the reasons I stopped.

      I could say that about Destiny 2 but I still feel dirty about giving any sort of money to Bungie
