I seriously need to stop reading about this game, because I'm hovering over buying it and dealing with the subscription payments that I loathe so dearly.

I still can't work out how to justify $15 a month in order to play a game I already spent $50 on and might not even play that month - both from my perspective as the customer with not a lot of money, and the publisher's perspective about why they need to do it.

I hate Bioware at the same time I love them, for tempting me like this. They've made another beautiful game, this time it's bigger than ever, with online capability, and it's back in Star Wars, and it hurts not being able to hop in. I'm still able to push myself away from it though for the reasons stated above. Also because it's Windows-only right now, so I'd have to get a copy of Windows and install it in Bootcamp since it's an MMO and online games don't work in Wine, which would eat a lot of hard-drive space, and money I don't have since I bought a TV.

On that note, I managed to find a TV in my price range to replace my horrible, horrible, 20", 4:3, standard-resolution, CRT box of pain. Will post an entry about it once it's set up.

But yeah, Bioware's the kind of company I think will always do the best business; they don't have a lot of marketing or interviews or anything, they hide away working their product to perfection, then let the product speak for itself. And it speaks loudly, distinctly, and eloquently. And it hurts listening to it when I half-don't, half-do want to buy it.
