Exactly my thoughts.

I enjoy Cities XL, and from the start subscribed to the 3 month deal. The value for money aspect of the online content was always dubious, but I was happy to be part of the initial uptake and investment. This was, in my small way, my contribution to the game's on going development, to where it should have been at release.
The removal of the three month subscription, without any adjustment to the monthly rate (an effective price increase of 175%), has pushed the value for money element of this game from just about acceptable, to over priced. Its not a question of whether I can afford it, its a measure of whether it offers value for money at the price asked.
To be clear to MC. I will NOT be renewing my subscription to Cities XL at this pricing level.
I wish MC well in their future endeavour with this game, and hope that their strategy going forward enables them to make this product viable. I regret that I do not represent the target customer for this new strategy.quote>
