I completely agree. They are in house numbers so that 95% piracy rate is a little fishy to me.
I do like their "buy-to-play" strategy, but I think they expect too much money from what they are offering through micro-transactions.
I find this format to be more interesting than a "Let's Play". It allows me to take out all of the boring stuff in a RPG. You don't have to see the long travel times or menus. Plus it allows me to role play as a really old disgruntled man.
Some of my friends would play a woman and state that they "didn't want to stare at a man's ass for 50 hours."
