The MMO situation will sort itself out, honestly it's impossible to have same subscribers for multiple games but people build friends and want to stay friends in the different games.
The real thing is that MMO's need to justify a monthly fee, and right now they are on the same system as a gym Membership, they charge you for the m0onth no matter how much or how little you play with no reward for all the time you COULD be hoarding their system resources and aren't. Eve is the only game that really sort of does something about that but the queue is 24 hours at most, anything longer then that will hoard your queue and you better come back within the 24 of when it runs out to throw the next thing up on the line, if you miss it pfft wasted training time.
So in other words MMO's need to reward dead time paid for.
