Man, I've read this whole thing and I still don't get the support. And I have tried. I have really tried to connect with the idea, to understand it from a different perspective, but I can't.
All I'm seeing is thanking SE for finding more ways to take your money. Certainly they're allowed to, but I just can't see why you would want them to.
It's ultimately a positive for them and a negative for you. Paying for content you could theoretically obtain in a week or so (actually playing, and hopefully enjoying, the game) for the price of two months subscription with no in game alternative? I just can't see the logic in supporting that.
