Why are we talking about this yet again?
I would rather pay a monthly fee for a game that will hold my attention for a decade (as FFXI has, been playing it since the NA beta), then have a free game that I wouldn't want to invest any money into since I have zero assurances the game will be around in a year. I don't think the P2P model is dying, but there will be fewer games that can get away with it.
