Ok, so I'm cruising through the Best Buy today, and come across this new game Star Wars Galaxies, something like a Star Wars based RPG. Looks interesting, saw an ad or something a couple months ago, so I pick it up. The game is $50. and then on top of that, they expect you to pay an additional $14.99 a month (or a slightly reduced fee for 3 months, 6 months, etc) for the ability to play the game online. It's an online game, so supposedly it can't be played as a standalone, therefore you either shell out the money each month or you have a useless $50. game. WTF is this crap?!?!?

Please join me in my boycott to Star Wars Galaxies, and my general distemper towards Sony and Lucas Arts for putting out something this heinous.
