setsuko Posted September 19, 2002 Share Posted September 19, 2002 Deal with it. If you find a fun game that you don't have to pay for, kudos to you. But in the meantime, the cool kids will play real MMORPG's, and pay for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savrip Posted September 21, 2002 Share Posted September 21, 2002 Yeah, nobody likes to pay more for a game, but when you have a really well done game and it's fun to play I really don't mind paying the monthly fee for it. When I stop playing I stop paying. Also, I do disagree that if a game has a monthly fee it also has a high initial sticker cost. If there is a monthly fee involved the price for the initial product should be lower than the norm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murashu Posted September 22, 2002 Share Posted September 22, 2002 Although I would prefer to pay less, I can see why SWG cost the same or more as most games upfront. The amount of work required to develop this game is far beyond the normal FPS or single player RPG therefore they charge the same or more to buy the software. The monthly billing is not to recover the cost of the original software but instead to cover future development and server upkeep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setsuko Posted September 22, 2002 Share Posted September 22, 2002 I don't mind paying the same price at the counter for a MMORPG as for a 'regular' game. But then, of course, I expect the obligatory "first month for free" offer. If the first month is not for free, then sure, it should not be the same price. After all, then I get a lot less 'in the box'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murashu Posted September 22, 2002 Share Posted September 22, 2002 I would expect the first month to be free as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setzer Rendar Posted September 23, 2002 Share Posted September 23, 2002 60 bucks? i would get a xbox...heard the price was dropping to 150 this month and i would get galaxies and then sign up for Xbox Live. it would be cheaper in my veiw....for the game anyways. plus Xbox is totally worth it as well.

Murashu Posted September 23, 2002 Share Posted September 23, 2002 I don't know where the $60 comes from but when I preordered from babbages it was $49.99 a copy. Xbox might be cheaper but it will never be the gaming platform that a PC is, you get what you pay for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
