This is insane. I just read an article here on Game Spot that said according to reports more people are willing to pay to play online.

This is bull **** I know there are some good games out their that might be worth paying money to play online but their not trust me. If we buy these games like "WoW" at $60.00 a pop and then have to pay like $25.00 for 60 days of play, by the end of the year you spent $420.00 a year to play a game, you could buy the Xbox 360 for that. and you know because the game is addictive youll pay for another year.

I like Warcraft and I got every game untill WoW, I will never pay money to play online, if we start paying to play you will soon find that it will become the standerd, and every game with multi play online will charge and at $420 a year how many games do you think you can afford to play. I say dont buy a game that charges to play online.
