Speaking for myself, charging over $17.00 per month is beyond my acceptable threshold for an online game. There is no online game that I know of that charges such a high rate. |

I accept it's beyond your threshold and that's fine, but regaring your last sentence: How many of them are non-fiction? I don't know how creating a character, weapon, a new ship in EVE Online, etc, could be compared to a car which takes probably a month to model and a 2-3 month period to define and refine physics for. There's no research trip, no scan trip, no hotel fees, no extensive modelling time (it isn't real, you can make it whatever shape you want), no extensive physics work... Plus, the much longer time it takes to create a non-fiction item, someone has to be paid during that time difference. A track, even one like Bristol, can take months of flat out work for one person, now imagine a track that isn't 0.533 in length... |
