Not I.
I bought a minecraft account for $12, and it's given me over two years of mild entertainment, architectural stimulation, and flying around like god looking down on other peoples' builds.
If I did pay the fifty bucks for quake.. I'd be sitting in an empty server, waiting for the handful of people in Au who have premium to consider joining me. Even in free week, it was hard enough to get people out of almost lost CA.
