We can only blame ourselves for multiple sequels since we keep buying them.
We can only blame ourselves for DLC since we keep buying them.
We can only blame ourselves for Online passes when we keep paying for online.
Almost everything you mentioned isn't only to be blamed on these companies, but more so on ourselves as gamers for allowing them to do these things and not voting against it with our wallets.
We are going to end up in an age where renting games from services like GamFly will be useless since renting a title effectively shuts down half of it's features, mainly online play.
Blame yourself.
iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.
