I knew this would be the case when my friend insisted I buy to play with him. Hes an unfortunate barometer for games that will either lose hype quickly or get shut down soon after release. You name a game that had a hard fall off and he was its biggest proponent during its honeymoon period. Game had its servers shut down? He played the shit out of it.

Such a shame because your friend sounds like a cool person. I think it’s just that the gaming industry has become so bloated and mismanaged that a lot of new products are hyped to hell, then face plant hard.

He is, and I spent a lot of money buying and playing some of these games against my better judgement, but I can't do it anymore. Especially not if they're gonna charge a $70 fee just to start.
