Anyone else bothered by the impromptu money grab?

[Kriegson]

Can't really begrudge a company for trying to make money, but frankly I was a little distraught when I found out that my PC gamer key (which I had bought the magazine specifically for) was not only in the same pool as thousands of other keys that were simply given away, but that they basically sold first access at the last minute to anyone who purchased PS1 and a sub.

I dug up my old vet account some time ago, but didn't feel that it was worth spending 15 bucks for a sub I wasn't going to use, for a beta of a game that is free. Though apparently many did, and SoE capitalized on that.

Anyone else feeling a little leery of SoE due to this?
