    This is probably a bit much, given that it would refund most of the subscription. I'd have over $400 of mog station credit.

With subscribtion based games, I feel I have to play them every single day, to make sure I haven't wasted any money.
    Consider what other forms of entertainment you could get with a similar amount of money.

    You could get a movie ticket and spend two hours watching the movie. If you play the game on one evening per month, you've gotten more value than from a movie.

    You could get a paperback book, which might take 20 hours to read. If you play the game on two weekends, you've gotten more value than from a book.

    You probably wouldn't consider either of those wasted money, assuming you didn't pick a totally bad one. So there's no need to consider a game subscription wasted even if you don't play every day. If you have Netflix or similar, do you also feel like you have to watch something from it every day to not waste it? Do you feel like you have to call or text someone every day to not waste your phone service plan?

    Wait, why would this be a reason why the expanding the free trial was a bad idea?
