How does everyone feel about free to play games? These are games where you can download for free and either has ads in them or lets you play a limited version (demo) of the main game but you have to 'pay' for more content?
For console games it is a good way to try before you buy; some types of games focus more on the multiplayer than the single player side; and if you dont do multiplayer why should you pay for it? You could get the base game for free and then just purchase the single player game and then activate the multiplayer if you want. The other side is that some people expect it to come with it, with more people being attached to the internet it is easier to simply download the content you want. Some people worry about some games moving towards a monthly subscription for the multiplayer options as it costs the company money to maintain servers for the multiplayer games.
