Where's the investment, though? Unless you're planning to quit the game when your current subscription period runs out, you're just buying your next month of game time a little early. It's exactly the same amount of money you were going to spend, and it's getting you exactly the same thing you were going to spend it on. The only difference is that you're spending it today instead of 16 or 27 or however many days from now. Calling that an investment is like saying the money I put on my public transit fare card so I don't have to carry cash around is an investment.
