I say boycot the darn thing and put an end to it before it manages to gain ground.
Neon, good point. At least with your box at home and hardcopies you have something tangible. If you stop paying those fees, you're left with absolutely nothing. Now if I feel nostalgic and want to play Diablo II, at least I don't have to get a gdarn subscription.
Sometimes I really wonder who the idiots are; us for letting people/businesses get away with it, or them for even thinking they can get away with it. Only time will tell.
Just thinking about a future like that makes me sad.
