MS and Bungies principles with their business when XBox Live started were very similar. MS were smart and knew that they had to build a kind of sense of community to not only establish the XBox brand, but also the justify the XBox Live charge and help build a lot of loyalty with consumers, because they'd already seen Sega, Nintendo and Sony have strong followings which helps them a lot.

What you've seen is Microsoft lure you in and now they've got you, everybody has a price, as we've seen by not allowing Valve to have it's DLC free.
