Well, I have an idea.  Why not sell it for a normal game fee, and then charge 10-20 bucks for each upgrade?  HTC would still be getting paid quite often.  And it would still be good if you had a $10 a month payment on top of that.  Right now you're getting out about 2 new versions a month, that's $20-$40 right there, plus $10 a month normally.  While I don't expect updates to be as often as they have after release, I think it is a plan that works for both parties involved.

 The "lets charge more and keep the riffraff  out" posts that you see on agw, made a little sense. In WB you could buy your ranking. But here I dont get it. Lets just leave the priceing to HTcreations.

 Ok, normal game fee, around 40 bucks?
Take your example of 10 bucks for each upgrade. Aces High came out 2 months ago, so with the 9 updates it would have cost us $130.00 for the last 2 months of play.
 NO thanks, id rather they keep the 30 bucks flat rate.

 AGW is only PROOF that WB's has enough riff raff of it's own. The posts over there are indicative that you may say you pay more but you still get the same type of people no matter what the price.
 The quantity of the various personalities changes with a higher price scale. Not the quality.

The great thing about free interprise is that market demand and a properly run business determines its success. Since HiTech Creations is putting there expertise and capital on the line here. Oh, and by the way nobody is paying a dime for it here during "beta" and its a great simulation now. I think that what ever HiTech Creations decides to do will be evaluated by all and their success or failure will be determined by there ability to accuratly predict the market! I PERSONALLY FEEL VERY COMFORTABLE WITH THE MANAGEMENT AND STAFF TO MAKE THE BEST DESISIONS! No need to speed to much time on this one. Wait and see what the market price is... and pay if you like it or go on to another area that you feel is better for whatever your reason!

SIMPLE STUFF REALLY!
