But if they have a subscription, they'd be able to play their favourite game all day long anyway, so... I can't tell if you were being intentional with that statement or not. I know that threatening to drop your subscription is a favourite tactic among disgruntled users, but in this case, you'd be literally choosing the option that prevents you doing the thing you want to do.

Not if the playerbase is reduced because all nonpremium players have left. That's my point.
