MSQ

[Iscah]

The fact that you can pay to skip the MSQ is also something that is behind my comments.

Like it or not - and I don't particularly like it either - we have signed ourselves up to a game designed around a subscription model. It is intended to extract money out of us in exchange for game progress.

So from that logic:

Someone playing through the full game will spend a few months' subscription along the way.

Someone paying to skip is probably paying the same amount AND they've saved themselves a few months of gameplay time.
