That's a incorrect comparison. You're treating WoW and Star Citizen to be similar games. When WoW for more than a decade has been in its own premium bucket.

The average MMO today is free. Then the small percentages of MMOs that require the core game purchased.

No MMO is free. The question is just how you're paying.

Servers cost money no matter what.
