That&#8217;s not good news for all those new MMOGs coming down the pipe, but maybe if they offer a unique enough gaming experience people will be willing to give &#8217;em a shot. I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;d be able to handle more than one or two myself, especially since these games tend to have high price points to begin with, on top of the subscription fee.
