So... i really want to stop playing DCUO since it takes up a lot of my time. I love it but MMOs are just too much of a timesink... Problem is, I have subscribed for 3 months and it's only been a month since

"Traditional economics proposes that an economic actor not let sunk costs influence one's decisions, because doing so would not be rationally assessing a decision exclusively on its own merits."
That's it. I'm gonna stop now.

Forgot to copy this part: "Evidence from behavioral economics suggests this theory fails to predict real-world behavior. Sunk costs greatly affect actors' decisions, because many humans are loss-averse and thus normally act irrationally when making economic decisions."
Lol.

Yep. The human psychological glitch regarding sunk costs has been a factor in keeping my friends playing MMOs far longer than they found them fun.
Personally, as soon as I no longer wanted to play an MMO, I just uninstalled it immediately. To make the barrier of coming back higher.
