justified by the price then - we already get totally ripped-off with supposed AAA titles that don't work!
And games prices drop within weeks short of a handful of titles in the second half of the year... Nothing's gonna change until MP takes off for the average title; you might be able to sell that separately. Other than that, have you seen how much money is being made in DLC? It's into the billions every year now. Nobody's killing that golden goose!
