It's rather amusing how people go nuts about a sub cost, then pay 5x more than that in the shop on a f2p game. Knee jerk reactions are way too common and very few seem to step back and look at the bigger picture. F2p are often p2w, where only the people with the biggest pocketbooks can afford to compete.

Many other f2p started out their first year or two as sub only. This is normal as they need revenue to be able to pay for staff, servers, voice acting, graphic designers and other added content. Apparently many of you think that money grows on trees and this stuff doesn't cost companies anything. Many others seem to think everything is owed to them just for being alive.

Yes, they've made money from pre-order sales.. do you really think they've covered 200 million dollars? That is around what it has costed them so far to develop. I appologize to those who can't afford 50 cents a day to play a game that has costed so much to bring into existance and keep running. Personally, I'm happy to give a little back to a company who is giving us so much. If I can't afford it at some point, that isn't the company's fault.
