Who would pay for online stuff anyway?
It's the one thing I don't get. Sure, I also play a few freemium browser games and they can definitely be fun. And I can definitely understand and support a small donation to get some better items and also help support running the game.
But there are games which take on donations starting around E 50,-. That's nearly the price you'd pay for a premium game. And what do you get after you've made such payments? Nothing. Everything you "own" is purely virtual, so the very moment they turn off the switch for whatever reason you'll be left in the dark and without your money's worth. Welcome to modern gameplay?
With the old fashioned (and probably boring?) concept of actually buying a game and getting physical media you can play your game for as long as you'd like. Want to 'donate' more? Look into DLC, most often that can even help you to get even more out of your game. But paying heavily for online contents?
