World of WarCraft

[r00ster]

I plan to sign up for the upcoming beta, but I will not be buying it. I love warcarft and I would love to own this game, but I refuse to pay for a game more than once.

That's -exactly- why I won't go for the whole MMORPG craze, either. I also refuse to pay for XBox live, which is an even bigger scam, as at least the companies maintaining MMORPG "worlds" work somewhat for the money you have to pay.

I still don't understand why companies who expect a monthly fee don't just let you download the game for free... and make it so you can't play it without paying for at least one month. That way, you're not throwing $50 out the window if you don't end up liking it... and if you do, they make money off of your monthly payments.

...and don't even get me started on the music industry!!!
