While I see the benefit that it is possible this type of system may allow new companies to put out products we want I think this payment style will eventually create bad behaivor from producers in the long run.
For that reason and no other I would not buy any product sold in this manner. Take college football. I would love to watch it but since I hate the system I refuse to acknowledge it until such time that they fix it. Granted goons like Jake can't stay away from it so I am in the minority but people like Jake is the reason college football is flawed.
I can see companies blackmailing its customers in the long run by using a system like this. Hell maybe the prices we pay are the reason we get bad product releases but for me personally just give me one rate and let me be done with that part.
The more transactions you have the better chance you have of something going wrong.
I certainly won't argue that it has the potential to introduce better gaming companies then our current batch.
