If it becomes 100% online or starts requiring internet 100% of the time, I will NOT pay to play it. My internet bill costs money, and the more bandwidth and speed I need, the more money that costs. I need the money to pay for the internet, not the game, at that point.
If it is BOTH a subscription AND DLC, I will not buy the subscription. If there is a subscription, it needs to INCLUDE the price of all DLC released up to that point. The other issue with a subscription: what happens when the service is discontinued? Or if the player cannot afford a subscription for two or 3 months? Health issues are sadly, not unusual among Simmers and especially content creators. In the US, healthcare costs can completely drain a budget. This means less money to go around, especially to costs like games - medicine, food, and shelter are just less important. Period. So, if you stop a subscription, then start it back up 6 months or 2 years later when your situation improves, what happens? Do you lose everything and never get it back once your subscription goes inactive? Subscriptions are a serious disadvantage to many disabled players for this very reason.
If they expect us to play a half-baked single player experience and a fancy multiplayer experience, I still will not pay for the game. Games that require a lot of multiplayer/online cost money just for the internet use, and online servers tend to go down periodically for maintenance or get taken offline permanently once the server owner does not want to maintain it anymore (bye game content).
