[gameprogrammer] Re: Favorite Game

On the contrary...  Look at it this way:  Most people will probably buy 
about one game every month or two -- $25-50 each month.  However, is you 
have an MMOG you play, then it's at most $15 each month, and you'll 
always have something to play, so you don't have to go out JUST to buy a 
new game 'cause you've already beaten the ones you have.  That's how I 
justify it, anyway.  ^_^  Granted, if a lot of cool games come out one 
month you'll hafta spend extra, but there's always the option to 
deactivate your account for a month or two while you play other games. 
I do that QUITE often!

BTW, I'm playing FF XI and City of Heroes (the latter of which my uncle 
got me hooked on, but I like it 'cause it's SIMPLER than most MMORPGs 
out there.  You can sit down for an hour or less and DO things, whereas 
FF XI and EQ, etc...  you have to be committed to several hours of 
contiguous gameplay to get anything done, 'cause you need a big party.)

There's my $.02 on the subject of MMOG cost justification. (plus a 
little extra.)
