Right now the PC market is flooded with subscription MMO's, and unless you are very different with a well established founding (Warhammer 40K or World of Darkness will work), or have something vastly different, it's not worth coming out.
This is why I hope we see games go for different business models beyond the over done subscription fee. Or do something like Sony's pass (looking at you NCSoft), a system like Guild Wars, or offer life-time subscriptions like LotRO (but don't get rid of it, keep offering).
It's all about the business models from now on as to how well they will work out. Monthly fee's is reaching it's breaking point.
