I remember when it was first announced that this game would be doing things like including a cash shop and pay gating an entire race. I called it BS and declared that the subscription was an obvious attempt at sucking up as much money as possible before people realized they were being swindled, at which point the mandatory sub fee would be dropped alla SWTOR. I was essentially written off (in nicer terms, I'll admit) as a troll trying to kill everyone's hype...

I am too classy to say I told you so, so I'll just smile smuggly instead.
