Honestly, to me, that's simply called personal responsibilty. They have been as transparent as it gets.
But maybe that's just my personal attitude towards people who can't handle subscriptions in general. It's simply their ineptitude, which should not be prioritized above those who really want to give money.
There will still be people out there who want to to support the devs, there'll still be people who play the game for the first time and may want to pay a few $ for that, etc. - to me, those are more important than those who are too lazy to handle their money.
