I played heavily back in the day I don't think the money was ever really the problem It was the time. When I finally settled down and had a family I had to stop. $15 a month for service and $50 every 2 years for DLC isn't really all that much money If you consider 60 hours a week of entertainment for that price a deal. If you are that close to the edge you're going to be on the edge anyway.
