No one here is posting any facts, just tossing random numbers out like "half of their potential buyers are gone now because of the p2p system" I have no evidence myself, but I'd say you are smoking crack to think that is even close to accurate. I'll enjoy the game much more knowing you babies won't be playing. As for recovering costs with retail box sales? Where are your numbers and your source? Do all the programmers, artists and such work for free on updates after release? Are server costs suddenly gone afterwards? F2p works for some, but I've never liked it. One fee, all content and support, ty! These companies are for profit, not charities.

To be fair though, we are yet to hear the full subscription fee costs (i.e. how much buying a years worth will reduce it). They promised it soon after the initial subscription-based information was released.
