It's funny how the first proto-MMO's like Warbirds and Aces High were free to download and play offline and only required a paid subscription to play online. If this new SH game used that model I don't think anyone would have complained at all.
I think you mean it's free to try. It's more like an unlockable demo. You don't get the full features of the game until you pay cash, therego it is not free.


And your right, if it used a traditional model, you'd probably see a lot fewer complaints. I think most people who've been around the block a few times know a big steaming pile of marketing manure when they see it. I know i do.
