Pay for play vs. free multiplayer.

Pay for play versus free multiplayer. Aaaahhh..... This subject both is notorious and famous merely for the fact no one can answer it. Here's what I think.

Why pay a month by month subscription for a game that you already spent sixty bucks on? I can understand for XBOX Live and I don't even know what the fuck PSN does since I've sworn not to touch that piece of shit. The PC has Steam. What is steam? It's a digital software distributor that offers direct download instead of having to get in your car or walk to the game store, to buy a game. To get a game on Steam, all you have to do is hit buy and install. You don't have to pay for anything except the game unless you buy an MMORPG that has a "monthly subscription fee." Translation: You flush money down the toilet because the company is a bunch of greedy assholes. Why pay for a online game every month when there's freeware MMORPGs that don't cost anything unless you want extra stuff.

To list a few, I'll just list the ones I've seen or played.

Dead Frontier MMORPG

Flyff

...Some others I forgot the name of.

Think of the people playing your pay for play game. For every one decent person, there's five hungry sweaty fat men ready to "school" you so you stop being such a "noob-tard" or other disambiguation of the term.

/facepalm.

Why pay every month for ONE game? Especially if you have other pay for play games. It boggles the mind that game owners willingly pay for that! I'd rather play a single player RPG such as Fallout 3 than play WoW and pay every month for it. Even an FPS's single player campaign. No, I'd rather play the worst FPS ever made for a month than pay money for a game I already bought.

/grabs CoD: Finest Hour.

Can you believe I used to play Finest Hour for fun? Was I on drugs? Because that's the only way I could get through it's campaign now. That's how much I hate monthly subscription fees for a SINGLE game.

Steam= :)
XBOX Live= :)
Pay for play = X_X and :(

Free multiplayer. Look at those words game devs. It could be on a P2P server for all I care. As long as it has FREE multiplayer. No fine print, no dotted line, no soul-selling. Just free.

It's 4:19. I am veeeeery tired....
