And everything Valve has added/tweaked in Team Fortress 2 has been free and it sells for $30 if you buy the Orange Box or $20 standalone. 

Compare that to $15 Modern Warfare 2 map packs and $2 Bad Company 2 specialization perks.


My point is... Valve is doing that basically for free... so clearly the cost isn't that great in terms of servers.  They're activily costing themself money.

Not to mention, saying they should be able to do this because they work off fictious math is like saying they should be able to charge longtime players 10 dollars if more of them stick on then they should.

Alternativly, I should be able to ask for 10 dollars back from EA is I decide to play the game less online then expected.

Or you know.... play the game less in general.  Which is why used game sales work for the consumer.  (Well consumers not like me anyway, who want to go back and play pretty much any game at their library years after purchase.)

I'm not going against the used market. I just don't care much for Gamestop's lower buy back amount and higher used prices much like I don't like a university's bookstore's buy back amount and used book prices.

Something like Amazon is better where I'm considering getting FFXIII used for under $40 after shipping where it costs $50 used at Gamestop.
