Ok, I see where you're coming from.  And what I'm about to say doesn't excuse what's being done.  As we know, most new games retail for $60 new.  I can see where both single player and multi player contents are on the disk, but someone such as myself can only access the single player content because I have no interest in multi player.  But the publisher/developer probably would have charged $60 anyway if only single player content alone was on the disc.  In this case (but I suspect there are other cases), I honestly don't see it being an issue.

That's true, but it still doesn't make it right. If anything, it makes it less fair, because they are not adapting their prices to the demand of the consumers.

Don't expect this to happen anytime soon because this was and always has been the case for the longest time.  Two vastly different games can cost a retail price of $60 yet one could have cost the developer 1/2 the budget to make.  It is what it is.
