Remember when people used to defend the monthly subscription model, saying that the regular fee guaranteed full access to all game content, ensured server stability, and funded a steady flow of quality content?

Now, the popular motto is "You agreed to it in the Terms of Service, SE doesn't have to give you anything," or "The sub fee gets you access to the servers, nothing more." Also gotta love "Cash shop is a great way to support the game, stop expecting to be handed everything for free."

My, how people have changed their tune, in the week since FFXIV announced its cash shop.
