I dunno. As coy said, you could buy an MMORPG and end up playing it for years. Whereas you could buy a game that's heavily based on a single player campaign and never touch it again after you beat it in two weeks.
I believe the monthly CoH cost is $15. The retail cost of the game is something like $30 (you can get it for $20 on Amazon), which is half of what new X-Box games cost. Let's say you throw $30 down for the game and $30 down for two months of the subscription. That's the equivilent of one X-Box game that may last a person two weeks, depending on the game.
It's really not a bad investment, but for families that are very strict about video games, it might not be for them. It all depends on the individual case, which is why I wouldn't say to avoid it simply because of the monthly fee. Again, X-Box Live has a fee as well.
