Well if mandatory subscription is not bullshit then why not. But i do prefer to offer the game for free so everybody can enjoy it. Mandatory sub is a huge toll in term of marketing. If you are not Blizzard then it's really harder to market fit with less players. Another argument against sub (for me) is that the game will be much more fun with more players.

Being able to pay to remove adds is OK according to the site, he refers to it as a demo or trial.

So long as you can pay to get rid of ads and the IAP aren't pay-to-win (Warframe does this pretty well) I'd argue it's not Bullshit.

I agree Warframe is a "No-Bullshit" game but you still need real money to buy slots for weapons and Warframes. This is a game where you are supposed to acquire as many of those as possible to complete your collection kinda like Pokemon. It's more of a pay-as-you-go model.
Well I totally agree with you and that's clearly my aim.
