"there's no benefit except continued support of the game" as a consumer, how a company manages its product is not my problem, it's theirs, and frankly to put the future of a game hostage contingent on SOMEONE spending thousands upon thousands on little in-game trinkets is a pretty shitty business practice no matter how you slice it Holding the game hostage? What? Games didn't used to get supported for years unless they were an MMO. Which had a monthly subscription. This game is basically an MMO lite. --- Kind Regards, Darmik <cite>Darmik posted [p:896150940] in Jim Sterli...
