It's wild that they get away with charging for it

!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

I'm old enough to remember a time when you did actually have to pay extra to play games online through services like HEAT and TEN. That shit didn't last long at all, though. Was mostly in the transitory state between when multiplayer was LAN only and the introduction of TCP/IP internet play. I had to use these for Shadow Warrior and Duke3D. Before that, CompuServe (the ISP that introduced me to the internet) also had games that had a separate charge in addition to the service itself, such as the original Neverwinter Nights (not the Bioware game).
