see it in another sense, let take a game for ps4 it's about 59.99 dollars, right? how many time do you spend for 3 games of ps4 or any other game (exept big thing like skyrim that an ovni) most of the game will give you between 5 at 50 hours. let's be generous this is 3 game at 50 dollar that will offer you 60 hours of play, means 180 hours.

FF14 if you play it 2 hours per day (i'm sure people can often spend a whole lot more) for 150 dollar for one year will offer you 730 hours of play.

well i guess it's make more sense like this. sub for a mmorpg give you more play time than most of the game that come out actually. the rare game that can beat are not legion...
