Thats a good joke... specially since 50$ a year ain't worth it when all I want is to play online, and none of the other shit they force onto me that I never use... and the same goes with the 60$ plan as well...
And Pachter needs to shut his trap before he gives Microsoft any ideas.
And yes, while it works out to 8 a month, it isn't. Its a 100$ sum paid all at once, just like the 60$ a year isn't actually 5$ a month. If it was, people wouldn't care as much then.
so basicly you are paying a little over the price for a new game for an
entire years worth of online gaming.
let me point this out even further, Anarchy Online, the 9 year old MMO, costs roughly $194.00 USd for an entire year of play time.
If people are getting worked up on a price hike THIS insignificant, they should remember the golden rule of capitalism:
there is an idiot born every minute if something does not suit your tastes, needs, or expectations, there is someone else that will.
