It may have something to do with the general age/life experience of most gamers but after a decade plus of this whole generations of gamers have come to accept it as the norm.

Here you are, spreading your cheeks and face down.

But based on what everyone says about SE, I seriously doubt they will rise tot he occasion.

Ya, it's not like they have an MMO that has been running for ~12 years or anything like that...

The game purchase is a sunk cost - I intend to get my money out of it.

Of course, you are the one in control, not the company you're offering yourself to. Keep repeating that to yourself while you bite that pillow, sweety. "I'll get my money's worth! I'll get my money's worth!"

I take it you've never bought insurance. Or dealt with a bank in any fashion. Or any other lender or credit provider. Or... yeah.

MMO fans in particular are nothing but the gamer equivalent of battered wives, "you don't hear the things SE tells me when nobody else is around! SE truly LOVES me! You don't understand!"

This doesn't work that well when you're one of those battered wives.
