Don't really understand what you're getting at? If anything, subscription based gaming is becoming even more common and widely accepted than it has been in the past.
Actually Free to Play is becoming more widely accepted and common. And more successful to.
And I found Skyrim to be much more rewarding then WoW. Yes it's a singleplayer game, yes I'm having fun, no I don't feel like it's a grind compared to WoW, and yes it has better gameplay, better crafting and better quests. Blatant fnaboyism/trolling just goes to show how much you have actiblizz's cock deep in your throat.
