It makes me mad that companies charge $10-$15 a month for their online gaming... I mean, we all don't have jobs and some of us thrive on allowance (some do, I have a paper route; lol). <_<

If you ask me, they should be (at an average) of $5 a month, so $60 a year - basically the price of a regular game nowdays.

( When we finish Project Overlord, my goal is to make it about that price... maybe $2 more or less, but all-in-all, I'm trying to make it affordable :w00t:

)

Hopefully you all agree with me... if an online game gets enough players, $60 a year from, let's say 10,000 players generates $600,000! That's enough for like 2 T3 lines at least. I find that all that extra money is just pocketed for the company (either that or put into other stuff where it should go back into the same game, or making a sequal or whatever), but I'd understand if $50,000 for so would go off to their next product, but that'd still leave $550,000, which is still alot! :evil:

Hopefully you guys see what I am saying

I totally agree with you, this pissess me off, plus for some games (not saying all) they put hidden charges if your using a credit card.

Jeezus, $20/month? That's $240 a year! I could pay for 2 years of this domain with that money and have some left over

And yes, Jack, smilies rule... 'cept this one is my magical one -|=>

it's my magical Zorro smilie

Oh well; anyway, I still think that's bullcrap that they charge you so much... if they make you pay that much for a game, they better keep adding stuff on like crazy >.<

yeah, $20 a month is way too much. That is either a total ripoff or a really really great game....and it has to be like....really really really great for it to be $20 a month.....
