Is it really that different than any other game?
How many games get more than a month play time? Few and far between I think.
How many if they suck? Lucky if they get a week.
I do see a lot of 'failing' MMO switch to a free to play model though, and I guess it seems to be working, although I don't follow it too closely.
I have a couple friends who have played DDO since it came out (like 7 years now?) and when it went FTP they cancelled their subscriptions and earned/bought the additional content. Now they have a permanently free to play MMO with all the content, assuming they play enough during each expansion to keep unlocking the new stuff.
