i dont think SE wants allot of people to buy the game right now.

Wait, what? SE doesn't want people to give them money?

Even following what you're saying, you have to consider this. If SE, today, were to start charging a monthly subscription fee, there would be some people that would pay it and continue playing. Yes, it's safe to say a lot (probably most) would not, but there are some people that are willing to pay for this on a regular basis.

Logic would then dictate that more people playing would mean more subscriptions. Any way you look at it, it's in SE's best interest to distribute the game as much as possible.

They would piss more people off paying for a game that isn't worth the money. It would get worse of a rep than it already has, and it would fail faster than it already is. Hell, if they said i could send back my CE for a refund i'd do it. Maybe try again in 2 years.

If SE wanted to sell the game now they would be charging us cause thats were the real money is, subscriptions. I personally dont think they would want to push potential players away by telling them this game is awesome now and they should buy it immediately. Thats just crazy talk to think otherwise, they know they dont have a finished product so why would they market it.
