That's indeed one strong trend, but another trend is what COD and BF are trying to do. You pay $60 and if you end up being addicted to the multiplayer you will be tempted to buy all these frequent map-packs they pump out or the Premium or Elite subscription.
And in next gen in addition to that we might see all sorts of paid unlockables for COD & BF multiplayer but still have them keep that $60 entry price, while less attractive games such as Yerli's Crysis will have to remove those mandatory $60 and do traditional F2P.
