I agree with this. Payment options (and customer service/support while we are at it) should be convenient for your clients first, then for you. If you force your clients to manually buy your product every month, or overcharge for it (forcing people to buy more crysta than is needed for each month's payment) you will be out of business.
I buy your product to relax and maybe have some fun with friends when I feel like it after work. I don't want to give out my personal sensitive info to some random company noone ever heard of just because they offered you some nice affiliate/partnership deal.
Credit card/debit card/bank transfer/Paypal - these are 4 standard payment options for any serious online company that I can think of. Any other gimmicks you come up with, I don't mind, that shouldn't be my problem tho.
As your client I want easy, secure and fair payment options. Handling my money should never be 'choosing one of lesser evils or worrying about fine prints on some third party websites I've never even heard of'. If I won't get this what is the industry standard, maybe you don't care if I am your client or not.
