I say make it play by hour packs.
Every 30 hours of gameplay costs you 10 bucks or something. [which still makes video games one of the cheapest entertainment options on the planet :p]
[after the initial free 30-60 hours]

I could settle for that, as Pay per time period, is not something i enjoy.
what happens if you get real busy one month and end up playing not at all? do you really want to go in and out of canceling just to save money?
rather it just be pay vs what you actually play.


I could see something like this, but with multiple payment plans.

As in, you either pay monthly, or pay hourly. Hourly ofc would be for people who play less, and monthly would be for the hardcore people.

I wonder, out of all of the people who say stuff like this... actually know what they're talking about? I'm not saying I know what Blizzard's budget is, but I'm sure they spend a shit load of money on what they do and aren't sitting on a "Mount Everest" of cash right now.

And yes, I do think Diablo 3 should be a P2P game.


You are beyond mentally challenged if you don't believe that Blizzard is sitting on a mountain of cash. 15$ a month from every person that plays WoW? + all the expansions? Thats nearing $200 for people that play today (including the initial purchase)

Not to mention the people that buy in-game mounts and trophies. Also not to mention they have Starcraft... Warcraft...

And they also take some of the profit from item selling sites dedicated to D2. Plus all the nerds buying shirts/posters/books/figures.




Blizzard has enough cash to come out with a few games and support them with high quality, without making them p2p.
Don't kid yourself, Blizzard is a HUGE company and their cash stack far exceeds what you think they have


No offense from all of this, and tl;dr the whole thread, but seriously dude, come on
