See for me in 2003, the thought of paying a monthly fee for a game was unbelievable. I couldn't imagine having to use a credit and use it on the internet to pay for a game it just broke my mind. How could you pay monthly for a game when you just buy it in cash once?

Now look where we are.

I was 13 when WoW came out and I remember explaining the monthly fee to my parents. It was just a weird concept at the time to pay a monthly subscription to a game you already purchased. 

My dad legit thought it was a scam lol
