Back then, it was capped at $30,and unless you are in the top 10-20 players, you can get by with a lot less.

- keithnz 10y agoso, its now around the price of netflix? hmmmm, and could easily add up to a AAA game? seems a bit off

I don't know if the game is any good, but if you're the type of person that considers it to be, that is the sort of money that can be well worth playing for the feelings of accomplishment the game provides. That's why games can have monthly costs that are similar to Netflix, with much less content - Netflix doesn't provide the same sort of sense of accomplishing something. (Let's ignore the fact that nothing in the game world might actually matter - it's the feeling that is important.)
