I'm gonna take a guess here and say that most of the folks complaining about cost would be children that have to go ask their parent or "guardian" for more money to be able to continue playing a game that they had to beg $60 out of them in the beginning. By the way, once no more money comes in to support these games, they usually shut off the servers and no one gets to play. So if you like it enough to keep it online, your gonna need to ante up.
