Why? Non-pawn stars now can only play 6 games...I think it sux!

In fact, I am not currently married, but will be next month. I do have a very busy life, but whilst most people sit down and stew their brains by watching TV, I work on the site.
That is my big sacrifice, but it is no sacrifice at all, if you see what I mean. But having said that, I don't suppose people watch TV until 2am in the morning most nights.... 🙄
BTW The first post in this thread is a cross forum post, so I have responded elsewhere.

The aim of letting you play 6 games is that you may like it, and if you want to play more you will pay some money as you know it represents value. From a business perspective, it does not make sense to make it too comfortable for you to play at the site in the long run for free.

playing more than 1 game at a time would be like haveing another chess set, if you whant to play 100 games, to buy that many chess sets would be more than $1,500 instead of paying $15 for a sub.
