    Haven't most games that offered a lifetime sub gone f2p now? Could this be because the devs have been making no money after the lifetime subs and been forced into making everyone pay at least 2x more to play the game.

    If you read YP's response about why he is keeping the sub program, is because F2P gets the SW house fast cash up front, which then helps the SW house to pay back the investors. If you think about it, this is what life time sub will do as well.

    YP also have indicated that since ARR is totally funded in house w/o any financial backing from investors, coming up with quick cash is not an issue they need to worry about.
