Sorry I was being too myopic for you all… not just media has moved but…almost every app you’ve ever tapped which includes pretty much all traditional channels of commerce, including most all gaming apps, nearly all newspapers minus the free ones, numerous retail giants, all tv and movies in essence, even how we hunt and gather food and supplies for the home cave.
All those and many several other parts of our lives are all subscription based now and/or always have been. Paperboy anyone? Plus, the price of AH is less than probably half of all of those subscriptions above… I’m guesstimating.
In almost no restaurant or QSR establishment can you get one single meal a month for less than $15.
BUT it is a value proposition always. Whether or not you can “afford” $15 is irrelevant. My wife and I do ok for ourselves and can afford such things but the minute I find that AH is no longer worth my perception of $15, see ya errrrbody. Probably won’t happen for me anytime soon before it’s gone for good but I understand the decision for all.
If you think your money is better spent elsewhere then guess what? Who cares it’s your money. (Use it when you need it…) We can all find the right arguments for and against any flight sim or game… or anything really. Yet when it comes to the wallet… it’s a unique experience completely subjective to the exact end user and none of us can tell the other who did it right.
One man’s trash as it were.
