No, for many of the reasons stated above. I'd prefer that companies allow users to host servers rather than charge for us to use their servers. I really don't play online enough to justify the costs. I haven't played online since my wireless router bit the dust and it is not like I'm dying to play online again.
This is part of the reason why I love Nintendo games. They focus on local game play first. Sure, online is nice, but it should always be secondary unless you are making a game that relies on having more than 4 people playing (FPS for example).
