Why is subscription-based games so bad? Let me tell you a little about myself. I make $9.15 an hour at a factory. That is barely above minimum wage. I live in my own apartment. I have to pay rent, buy food, and pay utilities. Because I am not in any sort of debt (I even own my own car, and no, it wasn't handed to me), I have several hundred dollars left every month. I just took my girlfriend to applebees a few weeks ago and spent $50 on freakin' dinner. I also spent $25 on pizza last week.

I have to basically GIVE the bank $40/yr to keep my credit score good, and that may not even end up doing anything for me.

If they are capable of creating a product that you can enjoy, why is $15 so bad? I find it cheap and generous.
