Personally, I don't think subscriptions are a scam, at $15 a month typically that is pretty cheap.
Consider this:
Game costs $60
FPS - Around 15 hours playtime = $4 per hour of play
RPG - Say 60 hours - $1 per hour of playtime
So basically, if you play 15 hours of say (WoW) a month, you are getting your money worth. And when I played WoW I did 15 hours easy in a week, so I was paying about $0.25 an hour :)
Wanna talk scams? Try going to an Arcade and popping in $1-$2 for 5 min of playtime :P
