Allow me to be perfectly blunt here. Uru Live has gone... well... Live, and the beta is over, and people now have to pay for the service. That doesn't affect me, since I subscribed to GameTap the moment I was accepted as a beta tester. I figured that then was as good a time as any to try out what else GameTap had to offer.

Anyway, the GameTap service is $10 a month for a library of quite possibly over 1000 games, plus one MMO. MMOs usually cost $15 a month. So that means for people in countries with the GameTap service, you get an MMO for $10 a month, plus so many other great games at your fingertips that you just can't find time to play them all. The savings you have here is just... incredible.

For countries without the GameTap service, you can still buy Uru Live for $10 a month and when GameTap does eventually get released for your area, you'll get the other games for no additional cost. So even without the hundreds of games in GameTap, you've still got access to an MMO for $10 a month. Cheaper than any other MMO of that caliber. (Personal preferences aside, Uru Live is a high caliber MMO when compared to the rest.)

But get this... people are complaining that Uru Live is too expensive to buy without the GameTap service. You must not want it badly enough... You must not be aware of how much the price norm is for these types of games... You must not be aware that $10 per month for a game that is constantly changing is a great deal, even without GameTap.

I remember this all happening when Uru Live was being run by UbiSucks... Er... I mean UbiSoft, sorry... The estimated price for subscription was going to be $10 to $15, but it was going to be as cheap as possible and so many people were ticked off at the "astronomical price" that it was sickening. Everyone wants everything for free... Let's completely forget that this is Cyan you're talking about. Quite possibly the best company on the planet, and you yourselves have said it, but you're not willing to pay them for their game? There's a word for people who act like this... Hmm... What could it possibly be? Oh, yeah!

HYPOCRITES!
