I think I got taken for a sucker.

Glad I paid for my lifetime sub to CO.... I enjoyed CO until they broke the hell out of it. Also, exclusive access to the STO beta sounded pretty good.

Until now.

Honestly, I hope STO crashes and burns now. Maybe I can start a petition like those dudes did and Bill Roper will fly me to Cryptic Studios for free and I'll punch him right in the throat.

  NEVER buy a lifetime sub for ANYTHING.
  
  I'm surprised you didn't learn the lesson of Hellgate:London.

    Worked for LOTRO it seems. Though i guess that Turbine must be losing money on those lifetime subs sold by now, if the people who bought 'em sub are still playing.
