Of course, I also pay about $30 for a round of golf (includes lost golf balls) that gives me 3.5 hours of enjoyment.

Dude, you really need to start playing nicer courses. <snicker>

But the nicer courses are harder to play  :o

That and you need to do a cost adjustment for S. Georgia vs Chi-town ;)

Boy, haven't I heard this thread before?

Just substitute "SFC3" for "EVE".... and it sounds very familiar....

Bearslayer ..  I hate to disagree bud ..  but there is a huge difference !  One deals with the aspect of interpretation of elements inside of the game...  the other deals with not getting a game at all when you fork over the cash.

In the game of golf you are paying for the privilege of using their equipment and facilities ...  etc .. A movie is exactly that ..  entertainment. 

If we follow that thought to its end ...  then the games and other facets of it drop from a hobby ..  to simple entertainment.

At any rate..  just my own 2 cents worth.

True, except for the P2P discussions.  We really haven't gone too deep into those before, so they're new.

This is the other game I play right now. I like the price.  ;D I want to check this one out for multiplayer play. ;)

I argued on the Eve forums about a year ago about the price and cost of service, but can't find it now, just as well... I think Green said it well - either you like it and pay or don't - simple.

How much do you guys spend on liquor, cigs, sex, and illegal drugs every month?  Yeah, I thought so.

Yeah, who needs sex when porn is posted in the forums.

Maybe she's pay to play.

I tend to agree with Tracey's comments regarding Pay to Play, but then again I'm a college student and without a Credit card as well so that could have something to do with it. Then too I'm highly demanding of my computer games and will play games for far longer then an average person would, as well as come back to my older games every few months, something that wouldn't necessarily be possible with these pay to play games.

For me, Pay to Play would just not be cost effective.

As Far as EVE bashing goes, I don't see any, just some jokes made by the known jokesters such as Chuut

edited because I forgot to spell check  :-[

Hey, those are necessities!

Actually, if I had paypal or a cc I would give EVE a shot, lots of folks say good things about it.
