I really don't like how those kinds of games are actually designed to be addictive rather than fun, so people keep renewing their memberships *cough* Runescape *cough* I think the industry today is getting more focused on quantity than quality, personally I'd rather have created a quality game like Super Mario 64 than 20 mediocre first person shooters. Even if I can make more money by going for quantity I still wouldn't do it because I couldn't justify how many people I've gotten addictive by doing so.
