Is that what they consider "subscriptions", though? Anything past the the initial 30? I suppose that makes sense, given that you aren't charged for the actual period of gameplay until after the initial out of box experience. Thanks Mac.
Forgive my ignorance, but I don't understand how it can be estimated that sales will reach 3 million, but only 1.5 million subscribers. Does this mean that post the 30 day initial time period, they will retain half of the player base? That's a fairly hefty drop in people in 30 days.
Agree with Timjoy, the graphics feel like a throwback to the Descent 1+2 days. Not a bad thing, but they do feel a bit dated. Game is still in development, so who knows.
I don't hate the fanboy bashing at all, though. Without it, I wouldn't have the opportunity to be entertained during my lunch breaks through the week. Being that each has their own merits, the idea of the two factions going at each other so rabidly is as much fun as watching CNN and Fox News rip each other apart. I know, it's dark, but we all have to get our enjoyment somewhere. Oh....and BF3 is better.
Even SWTOR's website has a queue! [Updated]
