Maybe they'll get the hint.

That must be Flying Labs "Pirates of the Burning Sea" (with models by Akella) it looks great but as you say the monthly price is a problem. I wouldn't mind paying say $4-5 each month but not $14.99 that's just too much. However the game will benefit from contant patches and addons becoming better and better over time.Plus the truly dynamic nature of online play is quite a bit more challenging than any AI situation.

I suspect that the price may drop quite quickly as it's a fairly niche title, the "Pirates of the Caribbean movie effect" on kids is beginning to wear off and gamers may not be willing to gamble on buying into it at the $14.99 monthly fee
