Thread: Compromise: Just Charge $5 For Now. Once 2.0 is Out, Then Charge $12

If you enjoy the game enough to pay the subscription fee, then pay it. If you don't, then don't. Nothing should affect your choice for paying a subscription fee other than your enjoyment of the game - if it doesn't live up to your standards for the subscription fee, then you'll just have to wait until it does.

If you care enough that you're willing to incessantly complain on the forums, you should care enough to pay.

Agreed, nothing else more said!

It's true if you don't like the current state of the game, you can wait it out, and I'm perfectly prepared to do that.

But having a lucid reason for not liking the game it's not "nonsense" as you put it. It demonstrates there are valid concerns beyond the mere dollars and cents of it.

We're not even expected to pay for a half-finished 2.0. We're expected to pay for the 1.0 version that's so awful that it has to be completely replaced by this brand new version coming out next year, but which we won't really get to experience fully until PS3 players do as well. Somehow full price doesn't seem quite right to me under these circumstances, and even though some people are okay with that, there may be a whole lot more who could live with a lower rate, enough to make SE even more money.

And if money is the goal (and more players are a bonus), then why shouldn't this thought be pursued to its logical conclusion?
