Headcrab Zombie:
I prefer sub based over microtransactions
Microtransaction-supported games tend to be extremely pay-to-win. I've seen a few that were only mildly pay-to-win, but I've never played one that wasn't pay-to-win at all.

I agree, but sadly I haven't found a sub game I actually liked. To be honest I can't find an MMORPG I actually care for yet. All of them feel so lacking in potential (essentially I like them, but they get dull very fast, I haven't found one that didn't have this effect on me)
I'm hoping one of these "next gen" MMOs actually get me to stick with it.
Tetris:
even $5 a month would be enough to keep their servers up
if there is the right amount of players, that is

I'm not entirely sure of that, I have no idea how much it'd cost to run a server, but you also have to realize they need to pay their workers, not to mention they've still got to be pumping out new content. Then they still have to make a profit, not break even.
