2 week free trial...what?  Is this some new attempt to get more players, because I know I'd be really upset if I paid $30 and found out that it was really free and then $15/month

Looks like it's some sort of independant reseller. Has no affiliation with HTC. As the saying goes, "let the buyer beware."

HTC released the game in Europe as a Boxed version. I think the game came with 2 months free which  covers the cost you pay for the boxed version. As for this site, send HTC an email with the link and let them sort it out.

The site is registerd in the UK. This may be one of the retailer affliates with the EU release of this game.

This is like the old joke that voters are harsher to their beer brewer if he has an outage, than their politicians after raising their taxes. Death and taxes are certain but, fun and sex is only now.

  To be fair it said "combat simulator" which it is.

It says that the $30 includes a two week trial.
If I had a gun with 3 bullets and I was locked in a room with Bin Laden, Hitler, Saddam and Zipp...  I would shoot Zipp 3 times.
