From the article: Paying to Play: Is It Worth the Money?
Although the number of people subscribed to games that charge monthly fees for access continues to grow, we've all heard protests from those that refuse to pay any kind of regular fees to play a video game. Many are accustomed to the traditional retail offerings: buy the box, take it home, and play it forever, or until you get bored of it. By comparison, the $10-$15 per month a lot of MMOGs charge may look rather steep, but are they really a rip-off, or are they good value for your entertainment dollars? Share Your Thoughts
well worth it
- We spend about the same each month on Warcraft as we would have on cable television, but it's heaps more fun and sociable. I wish it was a little cheaper, as with the kids playing games like Club Penguin, it starts to add up; but overall, I think it's good value for money.
