Except paying just 60$ now is a lot less than paying 60$ now AND paying 50$ every year.

Yeah but most modern games don't have much replayability. 60$ now, 60$ for the next game.

Er, every commercial one, when you buy it? Every multiplayer game running over Xbox live? Planetside?

It's becoming more common as lag becomes less of an issue.
On PC, plskthx. xbox sucks horribly.

Pay to play =/= pay to buy
Given that most games nowadays on Pc are sold in essentially a service basis, the question is largely how your payment is spread.

So, um... Are you sure you guys are in the correct forum? Isn't sectorgame for PC gamers?

I don't think it's specifically for PC gamers. It's for specific games though, while the Playsector is for discussing various OTHER games ( non-EVE, non-Descent, non-FreeSpace ).

Silly me, I thought it was for gamers. Y'know, people who seek out and play good games without all of that dick-waving platform war nonsense. :P

Wait, how much? I still have a few million (3-10 or so) ISK left that Kazan gave me.

You can pay with enough ISK if you have it, IIRC.
Yeah, possible. It's even possible to get enough ISK to pay by playing only the trial.
It is? Since when?

Don't know since when, just know it's possible. Look up online, there are guides on how to get enough ISK during the 14 days so you can pay to play EVE fully.

If they involve Macros then it's against the EULA.

Macros?

I think it's called 'Ninja Salvaging' or something like that ( lame name :p )

Oh, then that is OK. ;) Macros are programs that play the game for you, basically.

That's pretty hit-or-miss. I doubt it actually works most of the time. :P
