Good point, but some people don't see a movie every month. There's also the price of the game itself, which is tied to the $10 a month subscription. >People don't balk at paying $10.00 >for 2 hours of entertainment, but complain when they pay the same amount for >something that will likely entertain them for upwards of 20-100 hours a >month?!? I do think, however, that Blizzard should offer one free month, or a set number of hours, in order for the prospective subscriber to decide whether or not it's worth it. $10 a month, for one game, on top of the price of the game itself, is too much for some people, especially if they've got other considerations. (school, rent, family, all the above, etc..)
