the difference is Microsoft has already charged you upfront... when you bought the software...
while outspark is pay as you go XD (and voluntarily too.. you dont have to pay if you dont want to)
you are more than welcome to quit and not play this game... while you cant really just ditch your newly bought window Vista coz you've already spent hundreds on it, just to find that its not compatible with almost every other specialising programs

You can ditch Vista at any time. There are other operating systems such as the Linux group - Redhat, Fedora, Slackware, etc.
Microsoft is actually making an effort to fix their software. Even though some are failed attempts, if you look at the Knowledge base download center, there are hundreds of updates, each spanning within the timeframe of 2 weeks. Some even days after the last patch rolled out.
Hence the difference. Sure you payed possibly up to 800 or 900 dollars buying the operating system. Your not being charged to recieve the updates. Customer support is at the top of their list.
Outspark, and I'm afraid hessah you have the wrong mentality a bit, has a half-complete game littered with bugs. To make that worse they are customizing the game such that it becomes almost essential to buy these cash shop items.
I suggest, before supporting this view about "enhancing game experience" through the
voluntary (although the term coerced fits better) purchase of cash shop items, you play a level 60+ mage with no Blessing of Teva. Once you do, I think you'll be more inclined to see the truth behind it....
