        Not sure if this is a joke or not… WoW was always a subscription game-as-a-service.

          Not a joke. Never played it. Didn’t realize there were subscription games outside of iracing.

            Oh that’s understandable. Most MMO games, at least in the past before the rise of F2P, had monthly subscriptions (often in addition to needing to buy the base game).

              The base game and the extension once a year + the sub were the ticket. Pricy, but when you consider how many hours the typical player spends in game it’s not that crazy.
