The model of deposit + payment plan isn't the issue. It's actually really smart, because of the psychological nature of humans when they see a price tag.
If you see a car marketed as "$349" a month with $1500 due at signing in fine print, rather than "$30,000" you're more inclined to consider the offer.
That said, the subscription online play model as the only option for multiplayer has got to go.
