Right? I think this is the answer to why people don't get invested in a game like this. The publisher asks customers for money upfront, then continues to ask through in game purchases, forcing a connection to them whenever you use it all the while holding a button that can cut off access to everything you paid them for. The rational response is to refuse this skewed bargain, and play something better.
