Actually, clothes aren't bullshit at all ...
... you just don't know better and believe you know there is all there is to know about it.

That reads weird.

The monthly subscription model is kind of unsustainable though.


Tell that to the more than ten years that EVE has sustained it.


Times have changed in those 10 years. There are no new games in this day and age that use a subscription model anymore. They are either free to play + microtransactions, or pay once + microtransactions. EVE's model worked for 10 years because it was the standard for MMOs at the time. That standard has now shifted, and as a result modern day consumers are less accepting of paying a monthly subscription to play a game. That's why I said it's unsustainable.

This article explains it pretty well.

You keep ignoring the people who refuese to pay subs in favour of free2play crap.
You keep ignoring their lack of intellect and quality.

A sub is there to keep out the worst filfth. Confirmation can be found by looking at all those
games who are f2p ... just check the forums. ArcheAge has been a great example, probably still is.

Furthermore do you ignore what the f2p model is actually about.
It's about milking people from their money. It's about neuroscience and marketing.
It's about taking advantage of intellectually challenged, self entitled people with self esteem issues.

That's what you get as f2p, because that's what these games aim for.
Idiots who need to escapemfrom reality, willing to throw away thousands of dollars for self worth.

When EVE goes f2p, the forums will be filled with tears of psychopaths demanding justice ...
... because their egos AND wallets got blown into pieces.
