Another thing, I dislike the fact that in 5 years or so, if I want to play this game, chances are I won't be able to. I'm sure in a couple of years, most players will quit playing (often), which will make the game "unprofitable" to them, then they'll kill the servers. Great. Planned obsolescence of videogames. Fuck that. And fuck centralized online gaming.

Yes it's 10 bucks a month. However, keep this in mind:
-FREE download. it's NOT 10$ a month on top of a 50$ game purchase
-FREE 2 week trial.

So you can play for 2 weeks for free. If it's "meh," uninstall it and cancel your account. If you kinda like it, play another month, and you've paid 10$ for 6 weeks of gametime (usually that's what it takes me to burn out on a game), rather than 50$. If it totally rocks your world and you end up playing it for 2 years, then maybe it's worth 240$.

yet another game that you have to pay monthly for. In a couple of years there will be too many of these, do companys expect us to pay for more than a couple? Hell, I don't even pay for one right now, but WoW *MIGHT* change that.

Let me see here.. I most likely only play single player oriented games for a month, maybe two months at most (that is stretching it). If I can get a game for 10 bucks as opposed to the normal 40 bucks- I'll take it.

Am I missing something?

This seriously sounds like the worst game idea ever. I'm not exactly sure people really need or want to pay a monthly fee to play with a bunch of asstard Gordon Gekko wannabes.
