1. Are MMO subscription fees outdated?
I've always laughed @ pay-to-play subscription policies. To WoW players, I particularly laugh at you people. Not once have I signed on to these pay-to-play MMO's.
The only model where I'd pay to play: Arcade Machines, particularly DDR.
2. Is it fair to charge beyond the initial purchase to unlock content already on the disk?
No. Unlocking things in a game? That should be earned by playing the game - not by paying into it. Any game designed in this manner - they're not worth playing in the first place.
3. Is it fair to pay full retail cost for a digital copy of a game?
Why buy a game right away? Instead, wait for the game to get old and buy used.
This is particularly true to any moron looking to play the latest edition of Madden. That's just pissing money away.
4. Are virtual console titles (like old NES games) over priced?
Yes. I remember a Super Mario cartridge priced at $0.10. Yea, ten frikkin' cents. To expect to pay 500 Wii points (roughly $5) for the same game... screw that.
I'll just turn to emulators for the old games.
Though, some titles are worth getting the on Wii console - if you really are willing to pay that much.
5. Should virtual content be locked to account instead of device?
Pay to buy something - and the content is still in their control -- not yours. Sorry. Put it in my device please.
Unfortunately, some games give you no choice on this matter.
