Sub with no cash shop whatsoever is my preferred model. Even if its 20-25 dollars a month. But I don't see that happening anymore. To many stupid people willing to drop large sums of money for a leg up in a video game.
Simply won't play it if its cross platform. Not only will the game and UI suck as every cross platform game has but I quite frankly don't want to deal with console gamers. Modern PC gamers are bad enough.
I always find posts like this fascinating. First there is the complete misuse of the term pedophile. Which means being attracted to prepubescent girls. Since the average girl has her period at 10 years old, that would me some vague reference to that…

There are 2 primary problems moving forward in the gaming industry. It’s the same problem that has infested virtually every other industry that began to become sufficiently profitable.
