How is $15 a month overpriced? Most people will pay you that much to mow their lawn one day. There are tons of things one can do to make $15 once a month. Hell, I spend that amount going to watch a movie in a theater, and that's only for one viewing. This is a game that I will be able to play as many times and as long as I want, for $15 a month.

And what are you talking about segregationists? Are you talking about poor people? Young people? People who expect something to be available for them for free? I don't understand what you mean by it.

If you are complaining that this will keep poor people from playing it, then understand this: if the only thing keeping somebody from playing this game is the $15 a month subscription fee, then they really need to straighten out their priorities. If they are that poor, then they should probably spend what little money they have on necessities and not on internet, a $400 gaming console, and a $60 game. There are much cheaper forms of entertainment. However, it seems to me that most of the people complaining about this price either don't want to pay the $15 because they feel they are entitled to it for free, or they're upset because their parents won't pay the $15 for them. In that case, earn the money yourself (like by mowing a lawn, or any of the other many things to earn $15 once a month).

If you're talking about young people, I have nothing against young people playing. I would much rather people who act mature play, because immature people can really ruin a game, but I'm not wanting to keep them from playing. If you just think this should be available for free because you think this company owes you something, or for any other reason, then there is nothing to help you. That sense of entitlement won't do you any favors in life.

tl;dr Complain all you want, don't buy the game, whatever; the truth is that this will cost just as much as the company says it will, not a penny more, not a penny less. If $15 a month is keeping you from enjoying this game, then go do something else for $15 and see if it provides you with as much entertainment and (semi)social interaction for your dollar.
