im not really sure what you're arguing for. but no one is blurring the lines, its blatant. for steam in regards to Team Fortress 2; micro payments is the new model. no singling out. its a team fortress relevant observation..
you seem to take the position that all content should have this micro model (or even that i cant have issue with it). and thus that is where we will disagree. i dont want to rent software, i pay to own. the same as i dont want to rent my home or car. now this has nothing to do with the expense but more the nickle and dime approach. The same way i have problem with paying 800 bucks on a airplane ticket and then nickle and dime-ing for luggage. Just charge me the 40 bucks on the ticket.
As for choice. i don't think i ever mention i was being forced to play this game or any game for that matter. i may feel a little obligated to finish the story-lines. as yourself im an old gamer too, i come to enjoy the pastime of gaming and expect a complete product. DLC should stand on its own; not finish the original story line. the later seems to be the trend.
i also may just see past the guise of "free". and as for Mafia Wars; i would love to see the demographics. i would suspect they target a "type" of person. someone who also may need to finish all the game accomplishments and gets distracted by shiny lights.
