Yeah, but its not exactly in 'competition' with typical MMORPGs for their market share, anymore then Diablo 2 was in 'competition' with Everquest.
The economic model for it is of the old one-time purchase (Unless you are a poor sap in Korea, or Taiwan, and get to pay per hour played). Which shows that the one-time purchase niche is still economically viable (But I can't delude myself in believing that pay-per-month are not more lucritive by far.)
I don't have much of an opinion on this new development from Bioware. *Shrug*.
