Why are people willing to pay 50$ a year live and 15$ for 3 maps but not an MMO?

so like an MMORPG is like 120 year a if u buy it for a year

xbox live is 50 Dollars for a year and map packs for like 3 more maps is like 15 dollars like 5 dollars a map

so why are people willing to pay like 5 dollars for a map and MMORPG come out with like new stuff everyday an thats like more bang for your buck then a map for 5 dollars

also i mean Live is actually close to the cost if you play a year of an MMORPG just thinka botu that for a sec its not like super far behind and u can play 6 months of an mmo for like the cost of live so its not like outrageous prices or antyhing

its just odd is what i see it so why do u think this is?

Spending money on LIVE is more piratical than spending that amount of money on one game.

but if you play one game more than 10 games?
