Umm, it's a bit over the top to say we are being punished no?
Considering gaming is not an essential item like clean water and healthcare. As consumer we can simply not buy their product if they do not meet our criteria.

EA is the master, of course, withholding content and online passes until the "offending" customer forks over another 10+ bucks.

Hehe, i get the feeling someone is still butthurt over ME3. EA aside, Steam is doing very well in this area since you can't trade in your steam games and steam sale are often enough that people who don't mind waiting can still get their game cheaply which imo, is a nice middle ground for publisher and consumer.
