$1 for a 14 day trial seems pretty reasonable especially considering if you time it around when you know you have a fair bit of time you could play through quite a few games in that time.

I had done that a few times where there was a game I was interested in and just got a trial and completed it during the trial period making it a very cheap game rental.
