Honestly I have no problem with P2P games. Like Adrian said, it is chump change as long as you work. And if not mommy and daddy can pay for it. As for Morality, think of it as a tax. I had to pay for my car? Why do I have to pay insurance every month? Why do I have to buy tabs? Life is P2P why should a game be diffrent? =P

Because life sucks, but games aren't supposed to suck.  |

*shrugs* I still say P2P isn't a bad deal. You get a months worth of fun for under what it would cost you to go to the movies once.

WoW monthly fee: 15€
Movie ticket: 6€ (around that)
And as far as I know, I don't need to buy the theater, neither do I have to pay in case they decide to remodel the place. XD
Again, I'd prefer to buy the game disk at the price of any other game (55€ on average), and from there, do not need to worry about SHIT, rather than having to pay every month.
Plus... Most P2P MMOs are a piece of shit. The only one I'd like to play is Age of Conan, and no, I'm not playing just because it has a fee...
... it's also because there isn't a class who uses fist-fighting. XD

Well over here WoW is $15 bucks and a movie ticket is around $8.50. Then there is the cost of gas to get there. Which is around $4.45 a gallon. Lets say to get there and back it takes me 1 gallon bringing it to about $12.95. If I am bringing a date then add on another $8.50, and if either of us wants popcorn, soda, or anything then you add on even more. All of this for about 2 hours of entertainment? Again the $15 seems like the better deal since you get to play it for the whole month.
But even if you just buy the ticket at your price, you have no date, no food, and you live above the theater so you waste no gas that is $6 for you.
Lets say it is a long movie and it is 3 hours. That is $6 for 3 hours of entertainment. Where as for the $15 you pay for wow you get it for the whole month. Lets say it is February on a non leap year so you get the least amount of time for that month. 24X28 = 672 hours of paid time. Lets then assume you have a life and only play for 30 minutes each day, and I am sure anyone with an MMO plays much longer then 30 minutes a day. Thats 14 hours of entertainment for $15 vs the 3 hours for $6.
