A Game Time Card (also called Game Time Code) generally refers to any one-time use code that allows you subscription time to a certain game, usually a Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG). These are a quite popular alternative to normal subscription method of cyclical billing that most games offer because the GTC is usually comparable in cost and can be given as a gift or used on any account for that game.
"MMORPGs are large commercial undertakings that charge a fee to begin playing the game, to continue playing the game, or both. The Game Time Code, or GTC, is, in essence, a voucher allowing you access to the game world for a specified period. GTC has also been expanded to include the new account codes, also referred to as a “CD key.” EVE Online players have their own special acronym: ETC. This just means EVE Time Code and is identical in meaning to Game Time Code but is specific to EVE Online."
